It's Tuesday morning and that means it's trivia time. This week we have a submission from our own Kurupt to add to the fun. If any of you have any suggestions for players to use, (preferably with clues attached) just e-mail me and I'll give you all the credit. In this case player 1 is Kurupt's.

Player 1

- I scored 7 career TD's, 3 in my one season with the Bills.

- I played just one season for the Bills, but have a Super Bowl ring
from my time in Denver.

- I left college as my school's all-time receiving yardage leader (since
eclipsed), which far exceeded a former Bills great's numbers.

- I now run a surf retreat on the southern Baja Peninsula in Mexico and
a health food delivery business in California.

Player 2

-I spent 7 years as a Bill, from '94-'00 and recorded 21.5 sacks as a Bill.

- I finished my 10 year NFL career as a member of the Atlanta Falcons.

- I played collegiately for the University of Colorado.

- I was the last of 3 second round picks by the Bills in 1994.

*Extra Credit*

Who were the first 2?

Player 3

- I am the only player inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame without ever having played in the NFL.

- I played in 8 AFL All-Star games, and was named to the All Time - All AFL Team.

- I am a member of the All Decade team of the 60's.

- I was the 11th pick of the second round by the Bills in 1961, out of Georgia Tech.

Player 4

- I played collegiately at power house Bluffton College in Ohio.

- I am a member of the AFL Hall of Fame.

- In 1964 I set a record for averaging 27 yards per reception.

I know who #1 is, so I’ll leave that up to guessing elsewhere…

2 is Sam Rogers. He was drafted behind, I believe, the now-famous Bucky Brooks and Lonnie Johnson – two busts – that season…

Off my game this morning. No clue on 3 and 4.

Lonnie Johnson & Bucky Brooks

Johnson had so much ability, and he flashed it every once in a blue moon. Brooks was a complete flop as a receiver, and is now a hack writer for SI.

3 & 4 were most likely long retired before you were even born, so I’ll give you a pass. Went a little old school today.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

My try

1 is still out there for me – working on it.

3 is Billy Shaw, G.

4 is Elbert Dubenion aka “Golden Wheels”. Believe the 93 yard playofff pass was vs SD and thrown by ex-SD QB Jack Kemp.

Elbert Dubenion

"Golden Wheels" is correct, however the team and QB are wrong.

Took me awhile but knew it had to be a West Coast type of dude.

Justin Armour, WR Stanford

Had to be the mad bomber then, Daryl Lamonica vs Boston Patriots then?

Correct answers

1 – Justin Armour (courtesy of K)
2 – Sam Rogers bonus Bucky Brooks and Lonnie Johnson
3 – Billy Shaw
4 – Elbert Dubenion bonus Daryl Lamonica vs Boston Patriots, Golden Wheels

Good ones

Those last 2 I pretty much had no clue.

I knew Rogers, and then Brooks, but would have never guessed Lonnie Johnson. That guy definitely had ability too. Too bad.

Lonnie Johnson telling moment

Vs Green Bay, Fake Punt, he catches and turns up field and starts strutting – EGHHHH-Forgot about return man Darren Sharper who blew him up causing turnover I believe.

Good old Lonnie, looked like Tarzan, played like Jane.
