Born in Gary, Indiana, on March 5, 1938, Fred 'Hammer' Williamson grew up in Gary and graduated from Froebel High School in 1955. He enrolled
at Northwestern University, where he played college football while studying architecture. He was drafted by San Francisco 49ers in 1959,
where he picked up the nickname 'Hammer.' He later played football for the Pittsburgh Steelers (1960-1961), Oakland Raiders (1961-64),
and Kansas City Chiefs (1964-1968), for whom he played in Superbowl I. Williamson's arm was broken during an exhibition game in August 1967,
and he sat out the majority of the 1967-1968 season. Afterward, Williamson signed with the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes
for the 1968 season but soon gave up his career as a football player.
