Career
After playing college football at Fresno State, Billy Wayte joined the Montreal Alouettes in 1961 and remained with them until 1964, mostly playing at the defensive back position, but also occasionally as a punt and kick returner. In 1963, he intercepted 5 passes, his highest total as an Alouette. In those four years, he only missed one game.
In 1965, Wayte was traded to the Hamilton Tiger Cats, where he remained for two years, playing in all 14 games during both seasons.
That year, he was named eastern and Canadian Football League-all star. He intercepted 4 passes the following year and then abruptly retired at the young age of 27, returning to California as a high school teacher.
