Career stats

William Anthony Lorick (May 25, 1941 – February 17, 2013) was an American football running back who played for six seasons in the National Football League (NFL).

A Los Angeles prep phenom at halfback, Lorick was converted to fullback by head coach Frank Kush during his college years at Arizona State University. He played four years as a tough blocker and effective runner for the Baltimore Colts before being traded to the New Orleans Saints for the second round draft pick that would be converted into Pro-Bowl linebacker Ted Hendricks.

Lorick would be plagued by injuries during his final two seasons in the NFL and would finish with 2,124 yards rushing with a 3.9 yards per carry average, and 3,014 total yards with a total of 19 touchdowns.
