A running back out of Lakewood High School in St. Petersburg, FL, William Floyd led the Spartans to the only undefeated regular season in school history (1988). Two years later, he joined Florida State University’s football team and helped them win their first national championship in 1993. He was the premier fullback of the 1994 NFL Draft and was selected with the 28th pick of the first round by the San Francisco 49ers. He had an immediate impact his rookie season, becoming the first rookie to score three touchdowns in a playoff game, and scored a touchdown in the NFC title game as well as in San Francisco’s 49-26 victory in Super Bowl XXIX. His performance during his rookie year earned him the name “Bar None” — a name that graces his foundation. In 2008, Floyd returned to his FSU Seminoles as color analyst for radio broadcasts of FSU football games.
