Former University of Michigan football star William (Billy) Taylor Jr. has barreled through life, blow after blow.
The former All-America running back was once a drug addict, alcoholic, lived homeless on the streets of Detroit and even did prison time before getting his life back together.
But at 68, the blows keep coming. The latest comes from a Detroit neighborhood association that has helped evict Taylor’s drug rehab center from a historic community.
For almost a decade, Taylor has been in a legal feud with the Russell Woods Sullivan Area Association over his drug and alcohol rehab center called Get Back Up.
