1977 Rookie Profile: Bill Helms

Tight End
11th Round
San Diego State
"Scout Jerry Shay saw quite a bit of Helms during his collegiate career. Helms is a big, rangy guy who played tight end in a pro-style offense for the past two seasons.
He began his collegiate career at Grossmont College where he won honorable mention Little All-American honors and was a first-team All-Mission Conference choice. In his two seasons at San Diego State, he proved to be a clutch receiver and as a junior caught 20 passes for 275 yards, despite missing five games with injuries. The top days during his career at San Diego State were seven catches for 96 yards against New Mexico State and four catches for 62 yards against both North Texas State and Fresno State.
Bill was born in National City, California, and grew up in Mesa, CA, where he lettered in football, basketball and baseball."
