Former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Marlin Briscoe, joined the John Murphy Show to discuss his days playing in the American Football League and the National Football League, as well as his life after retirement. Briscoe’s football career took on life while at Nebraska Omaha, and his collegiate success led him to the AFL. He was drafted in 1968 by the AFL Denver Broncos in the 14th round with the 357th overall pick, and it was here that he would help pave the way for African American quarterbacks in professional football.
Briscoe excelled as a quarterback throughout college. Reminiscing on the day he was granted a role as the Bronco’s starting signal caller, Briscoe explained that at the time he was aware of how monumental the opportunity was.
