Willie Davis (born July 24, 1934, in Lisbon, Louisiana) was an American football player for the Cleveland Browns and Green Bay Packers.

Davis went to college at Grambling State University, and was the Browns' 15th draft pick in 1956, but service in the Army intervened and he didn't play until 1958. In his first two seasons, he played briefly at several different positions. Just when he appeared ready for a regular offensive tackle job in 1960, he was suddenly traded to the Green Bay Packers.

Upon arrival, the Packers coach, Vince Lombardi encouraged Willie. He never missed any of his 162 games in a 12-season tenure as a defensive end. He recovered 21 fumbles during his career, just one shy of breaking the record when he retired.

Davis’ outstanding play did not go unnoticed. He was an All-NFL selection five times in six years from 1962 to 1967 and selected to play in five consecutive Pro Bowls. Undeniably Willie Davis was a major factor in Green Bay’s winning tradition of the 1960s that included five NFL championships and six divisional titles in eight seasons. Included in the historic championship run were impressive victories in the first two Super Bowls.
