The Green Bay Packers' all-time interception leader only had one eye.

Bobby Dillon lost his right eye due to an accident when he was 10 and was fitted with a glass replacement. That didn't stop him from becoming one of the best defensive backs in the National Football League in the 1950s.

Dillon, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound defensive back was noted for his speed and remarkable instincts, led the Packers in interceptions seven straight years beginning with his rookie season in 1952. His season high was nine, which he attained three times: 1953, 1955 and 1957.

He was productive in the even years too, intercepting four in 1952, seven in 1956, and six in 1958. In his final season in 1959, he recorded one interception to finish second on the team behind four players who had two picks each.

This is a Good Read.

wow, really good read. Thanks for the post RP

Heh. I hope everybody gets question #5 right. We were just talking about that in the Woody thread we had a few weeks back.

Good read, RP.
Thanks.

With the lack of depth perception having only one eye, that is incredible.

---

That is incredible that he was able to do so much with only one eye. What is also amazing is his size. That must have been comparable to the average Linebacker back in the day.

nice rp, my dad always used to tell me about him

---

Good read RP. Though I would like to point out that if you finish behind four players you're fifth, not second.

Unfortunately I guess I`m not too strong on Packers history. Good read though, maybe someone should point it out to Collins.
