    Bill Mass Bill Maas joined Block & Company in July 2010. Prior to starting a career in real estate he was an All-Pro Defensive Lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs for 10 seasons. Maas played both defensive and tackle during his career. Recognized for his relentless pass rushing ability, the two-time Pro Bowl selection joined the Chiefs as the team's number one pick in 1984 and made an immediate impact. Maas started 14 games, registered five sacks, and earned the associated press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award. Maas enjoyed his finest season in 1988 when he ranked third or higher in every defensive category and earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl. He also played a major role on the Chiefs record-breaking special teams unit by blocking two field goals, one of which was returned for a touchdown to bolster the Kansas City Playoff Drive. In 1987, Maas once again represented the AFC as the starting nose tackle in the Pro Bowl after a season in which he finished second on the team with six sacks and scored his first NFL touchdown after recovering a fumble. Bill spent twelve seasons broadcasting the NFL through Fox Sports, where he enjoyed many opportunities including relocating to Frankfurt, Germany, and hosting camps for kids of all ages to help increase the sport's popularity, and aided efforts to globalize the NFL product. In the United States, Bill broadcasted NFL games each Sunday, and covered five Super Bowls, two of which were reported from the sidelines for John Madden.

    For Immediate Release: December 11, 2012 Contact: Al Carbone (203) 671-4421 Follow us on Twitter @WalterCampPR Former NFL All-Pro Derrick Brooks Named Walter Camp Alumni Award Recipient Former Florida State and Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker will be honored on January 12 NEW HAVEN, CT – Former NFL All-Pro linebacker Derrick Brooks (Florida State University) is the recipient of the 2012 Walter Camp “Alumni Award.” Brooks joins a distinguished list of former “Alumni Award” winners, including Alan Page (Notre Dame), Bo Jackson (Auburn), Tony Dorsett (Pittsburgh), Herschel Walker (Georgia), Mark May (Pittsburgh) and last year’s recipient, Chris Spielman (Ohio State). The Walter Camp “Alumni of the Year” award is bestowed on a worthy individual who has distinguished himself in the pursuit of excellence as an athlete, in his personal career and in doing good works for others. He must be an individual who has exhibited dedication and good moral conduct in achieving success. He must be a compassionate and unselfish person who contributes his time and assistance in helping to encourage and comfort fellow human beings less talented and less fortunate than himself. He must be an individual who takes pride in having been a Walter Camp All-American. “We are pleased to recognize Derrick Brooks with the Walter Camp Alumni Award,” Foundation president John Marks said. “Derrick’s exceptional results on the football field pale in comparison to his charity work and advocacy of the value of education for young people.” A native of Pensacola, FL, Brooks played scholastically at Washington High School and was named to Florida’s “All-Century Team” as one of the Top 33 players in the state’s 100-year history of high school football.
