Groman attended Heidelberg University and graduated with a bachelor's degree while lettering in three sports that included football. He did not have initial aspirations of being a pro player, instead moving on to teaching after leaving college in 1958. He taught science for eighth graders in Perrysburg, Ohio, near where he grew up before one day being approached to have lunch with a fellow teacher and her husband in Bob Snyder, a former coach in the NFL. After a round of catch, he realized the talent in Groman and called up a former teammate of his at Notre Dame that happened to have been recently hired for the head role with the Houston Oilers in Lou Rymkus.The most expensive item with a signature of Bill Groman (BILL GROMAN 1961 TOPPS ROOKIE SIGNED AUTOGRAPHED CARD #142 HOUSTON OILERS) was sold in November 2023 for $29.95 while the cheapest item (Oilers BILL GROMAN signed Topps AFL card) found a new owner for $0.99 in January 2011.
