Many people erroneously believe that Danny White (above), former quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys and current head coach of the Arena Football League's Utah Blaze, is the son of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Byron "Whizzer" White (see below). These people are wrong. Danny White is the son of a different "Whizzer" White, in this case Wilford (sorry, we couldn't find a picture).
Here are some of the major differences between the two men:
Byron "Whizzer" White attended the University of Colorado and then had a short career playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates (football) and Detroit Lions. Wilford "Whizzer" White played at Arizona State University and then briefly for the Chicago Bears. Byron "Whizzer" White later went on to become a Supreme Court Justice. Wilford "Whizzer" White went on to father a child who had the misfortune to have to become Roger Staubach's replacement.
