Nixon Flirts With NFL Record in SI’s ‘100 Bold Predictions’

GREEN BAY, Wis. – In 1967, Travis “The Roadrunner” Williams returned four kickoffs for touchdowns during his rookie season with the Green Bay Packers.

In his annual “100 Bold Predictions” for Sports Illustrated, Conor Orr predicted the two-time All-Pro would be among the prime beneficiaries.
