William Ali Floyd (born February 17, 1972 in Jacksonville, Florida) is a retired American Football running back. He has been nicknamed “Bar None” ever since his agent described him as “the best fullback in football – bar none” during his brief holdout during training camp in 1994. At Lakewood High School in St. Petersburg, Florida, he compiled a 34 - 4 record and led the Spartans to the only undefeated regular season in school history in 1988. He earned All-Sun Coast and All-Pinellas County honors and was rated as the number one running back in the state of Florida and the number two fullback in the country by Super Prep magazine.

He enrolled at Florida State University in 1990, and helped the football team win the national championship in 1993. He was the premier fullback of the 1994 NFL Draft and was selected with the 28th pick of the first round by the San Francisco 49ers. He helped San Francisco win Super Bowl XXIX during his rookie year. In a 1995 divisional playoff game against the Chicago Bears, he became the first rookie to score three touchdowns in a playoff game. He finished his career playing with the Carolina Panthers from 1998 through 2000.

Floyd recently accepted a position as Public Relations Liaison for Able Body Labor and is actively pursuing a degree in law. He lives in Orlando, Florida with his wife Bonita and their three children William, Thai and Jaden. The family is active in his non-profit community-benefit foundation, William Floyd’s Bar None Foundation.
