CANTON, Ohio — In February of 2010, legendary Broncos running back Floyd Little got a phone call from Vice President Joe Biden, the first of two stunning calls that week. The vice president's Secret Service detail was skeptical of his assertion that he knew the soon-to-be Pro Football Hall of Famer, so he gave Little a call.
"Floyd, I'm sitting here with eight Secret Service guys and they say I don't know you," Vice President Biden said, as Little recalls.
The two had gone to Syracuse University at the same time, as Little said in his reply over the phone.
