Reluctant at first, Rashaan Salaam finally agreed to do an interview with BuffZone.com in December of 2014 to talk about the 20th anniversary of his Heisman Trophy-winning season of 1994 with the Colorado Buffaloes.
Over lunch at Boulder’s Fate Brewing Company, Salaam relaxed and talked about his childhood, his 1994 season, his post-college struggles and how he liked meeting some of his heroes – fellow running backs such as Tony Dorsett, George Rogers, Mike Rozier and Billy Sims – during the times he would return to New York City for the Heisman ceremony.
