William Frederick Bates, born on June 6, 1961, is a former professional football player who spent his entire 15-year career as a safety for the Dallas Cowboys in the National Football League (NFL). Known for his hard-hitting style and relentless work ethic, Bates became a fan favorite and a key contributor to the Cowboys' defense. His journey to the NFL was not without challenges, as he went undrafted in 1983, but his determination and grit earned him a spot on the Cowboys' roster, where he would go on to have a long and successful career.

Bates' breakout season came in 1984 when he was selected to the Pro Bowl, a rare achievement for a special teams player. His ability to make game-changing plays on both defense and special teams made him a versatile asset for the Cowboys. Bates was known for his fearless tackling and leadership on the field, traits that endeared him to both teammates and fans alike. His contributions were instrumental in the Cowboys' success during the 1990s, a period in which the team won three Super Bowl titles.

Throughout his career, Bates played in some of the most memorable games in Cowboys history, including Super Bowl XXVII, Super Bowl XXVIII, and Super Bowl XXX.

Despite not being a household name like some of his teammates, Bates' impact on the Cowboys' defense and special teams was undeniable. His work ethic and dedication to the game earned him the respect of coaches, players, and fans across the league.

After retiring from professional football, Bates continued to be involved in the sport, working as a coach and mentor to younger players. His legacy as one of the toughest and most reliable safeties in Cowboys history remains intact, and he is often remembered for his contributions to the team's dynasty years. Bates' story is a testament to the power of perseverance and hard work, proving that even undrafted players can leave a lasting mark on the NFL.
