A member of the 1970s Green Bay Packers passed away earlier this month. According to a team press release, former defensive end Clarence "Sweeny" Williams died on May 8.
Though Williams never played for Vince Lombardi, he did intersect with a legendary member of the Packers' golden era. Before the 1970 season, Hall of Fame defensive back Herb Adderley threatened retirement if the team did not trade him. General manager Phil Bengston decided to acquiesce to Adderley's demands, dealing the corner to the Dallas Cowboys for Williams and offensive lineman Malcolm Walker.
Williams went on to play nearly a decade in Green Bay, nearly all as a full-time starter.
