From Rice University, Billy Howton made an immediate impact as a rookie for Green Bay. He would be named to the Pro Bowl while leading the National Football League in Receiving Yards (1,231), which is still a team record for a rookie. Howton would stay a top Wide Receiver in the NFL and he would receive Pro Bowl honors in 1955, 1956, and 1957, the latter two seeing him earn First Team All-Pro Selections. 1956 was especially sweet as he would again lead the NFL in Receiving Yards and for the first time ever, he was the leader in Touchdown Receptions. Howton would be a four-time Pro Bowl Selection.
