Nick 1733 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Who was the first black quarterback to start in the NFL/AFL (Pro Football) and with which team did he start with?*Hint - He was signed as a defensive back and had a clause in his contract that stated he got a one day tryout at quarterback, which was granted when the team's starting QB went down with an injury.

Nick 1733 Posted October 23, 2004 Author Share Posted October 23, 2004 Marlin Briscoe started for the Broncos in '68. Correct. I wonder if anyone else also knows he was fourth on the 1972 Miami Dolphins depth chart at defensive back. MLB, NBA, NFL & NHL Font Packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. But clearly everyone knows what I meant, I'll fix it in the question itself. MLB, NBA, NFL & NHL Font Packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
