Jerrel Wilson - P

Jerrel WIlson was drafted by the Chiefs in 1963. He played 16 seasons, the first 15 with Kansas City. He punted for the Patriots in his final season.
Wilson's 1967 card shows his position as "halfback". As a rookie in 1963, he had 9 rushing attempts for 41 yards. (It's unclear if this was done from the halfback position, or because of botched punt attempts.)
 
He made 3 consecutive Pro Bowls from 1970-72, and led his league in punting yards in 1964 and 1973. A 72-yard punt in his rookie seasons was the longest in the AFL that year.
 
 
Teams: Chiefs (1963-77), Patriots (1978)
