#18 Robert Anthony Lilly was a safety out of Alexandria, Virginia for Charley Pell’s Gators from 1980 to 1983. Tony earned the opportunity to start (which was still somewhat rare back then) when Tim Groves was injured late in the season. Over the course of four seasons, Tony intercepted 9 passes. He led the SEC with 4 passes in 1983, and was named First-team All-SEC and Second-team All-American. Tony graduated with a degree in education.

Tony was selected by the Denver Broncos in the third round of the 1984 NFL Draft and he played for the Broncos from 1984 to 1988. Super Bowl XXII against the Washington Redskins was his last game in the NFL. He is currently a high school football coach and teacher in Woodbridge, Virginia.
