Bills Trivia: Who am I?

OK, Rumblers - time for a fun exercise to find out how many of you really know your Bills.

Here is how this works: I'll give you 4 clues about a player, who at some point played football for the Buffalo Bills. They could be retired, they could have played for less than a single season, they may still be active, but all of them at some point or another donned the red white and blue of the Buffalo Bills. There are no prizes, just plain and simple bragging rights to the first to give all 4 correct answers. Since this is the first one I'm doing I'm going to include a bonus player. And go...

Player 1:

-I was drafted in the 6th round of the 1990 NFL draft out of Northern Iowa.

-I was the 1995 defensive player of the year and a 4 time pro-bowler.

-I have 75 career sacks and 6 career interceptions.

-I retired as a member of the Minnesota Vikings.

 

Player 2:

-I was the first round pick of the Bills in 1986 NOT named Ronnie Harmon.

-I am the majority owner of the Arena Football 2 Louisville Fire.

-A Louisville, Kentucky native, I attended Vanderbilt University.

-I took over for Ted Marchibroda as the color analyst for the Colts Television coverage.

 

Player 3:

- I was born in Birmingham Alabama, and my middle name is O’Landa.

- While playing for the University of Alabama, I was a 3 times college Football All-American, and as a senior I won the Lombardi award and SEC player of the year, and finished 7th in the Heisman voting.

- I was drafted #2 overall in the 1987 draft.

- I’m a member of the NFL all decade team for the 90’s.

 

Player 4:

- I was drafted in the 17th round (#203 overall) of the 1957 draft, out of Occidental College, by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

- I led the Bills to 3 straight Eastern Division titles and 2 consecutive AFL championships.

- I was an AFL all-star for 7 consecutive years.

- I was the first AFL player ever to throw for 3000 yards in a season.

 

SUPER DUPER EXTRA TRICKY BONUS

- I was captain of the volleyball team and played free safety at Princeton where I recored 12 interceptions my senior year of 1988.

- I signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent and because of injuries would have been the starter, but a knee injury ended my career before it really began.

-While at Princeton I was known more for my girlfriend then my athletic prowess.

 

 All right, let's see how good you guys are.

Jesus that was fast.

I’ll hold off on saying whether or not you’re right till we get more responses.

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

Give him the prize..

First three were way too easy. Superman was easy, except his college girlfriend threw me for a loop. Who was she?

K – be honest – did you use the internet for help on this?

Might as well do a couple more right here in the comments, sireric. I didn’t even get a chance to think about these answers… :)

No cheating here...

Who was the Bills other 1st round pick in the 83 draft not named Kelly?

Who where the three guys who made up the Bermuda Triangle?

Who was the Bills first opponent in Rich Stadium?

Who delivered the “Shot Heard Round The World?”

Who played QB for the Bills before Kelly took over?

There’s a few for you guys to chew on…

Oh, so close...

Nailed the first four. Vince Ferragamo was the QB in the 85 season, but was replaced by Bruce Mathison…

Extra credit

Player 6:

-I played on the 1998 national champion Tennessee Volunteers.
-I was a 3rd round draft choice of the Bill in ’99.
-I had arguably my best game as a Bill against the Lions, a team I would later join.
-Despite good speed, I played fullback in college, mainly because my teammates were Travis Henry and Jamal Lewis.

Player 7:

- Despite being born in Queens N.Y. I played collegiately at Iowa.
- I was a first round draft pick of the Bills, but am better known as a San Diego Charger.
- My brothers Kevin and Derrick also played in the NFL.
- In the 1986 Rose Bowl against UCLA, I lost 4 fumbles leading many to believe that the game was "fixed".

You could also give as clues...

Player 6 – in short, my NFL career was a bust.

Player 7 – I should’ve caught that flippin ball against the Browns.

by krytime on May 7, 2008 3:00 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

My guess

Player 6 = Shawn Bryson

Player 7 = Ronnie Harmon

My apologies

I feel as though I made these to easy. Of course having all the answers given 6minutes after posting !!! was a strong indicator.

I’m going to study up and do another next week, that will hopfully last longer than 6 minutes.

Once won a free dinner for 4 answering this.

Who scored the first TD for Bills in a Super Bowl?

Extra Credit – what was the play run?

by freddyjj on May 7, 2008 5:28 PM EDT reply reply   0 recs

No help - Just my guess

Dennis Smith run up the middle?

by Fort Worth on May 7, 2008 6:14 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs
