PrintThis week for Tuesday Morning Bills Trivia, I am going to post facts about Buffalo Bills players that you all should know. The trick is that these will be little-known facts. I will list clues that you might not ever have heard of before. I know, you hate me, but that's okay, I'm used to it. Obligatory warnings here; no cheating, beware the false clues.
Mystery Player 1
I transferred from Western Illinois State University.
I played in six Super Bowls.
I won an "Unsung Hero" award at the NFLPA Awards Banquet in 1996.
I finished with 23 career touchdowns.
Mystery Player 2
I tied for the league lead in interceptions in just my second year.
I earned a Pro Bowl berth that same year.
I only recorded 10 more interceptions the rest of my career.
I am a member of the Bills Wall of Fame.
Mystery Player 3
I turned down a scholarship to PSU, because I didn't want to be a linebacker.
I scored 83 career touchdown in the USFL.
I was on the cover of Sports Illustrated holding a New Jersey Generals helmet.
The Bills drafted me in the third round.
Mystery Player 4
I was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals.
I started at NC State, then transferred to Tennessee.
I have a degree in Engineering.
I spent five years with the Bills before retiring.
***Extra Credit***
In 1988, Bruce Smith lead the Bills in sacks with 11. What players finished second and third that year?
In 1993, the Bills returned 3 interceptions for touchdowns. Who scored them?

Should #4 really count? He never played for the Bills…..
Is Talley part of the second extra credit?

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
I was going to guess Nate Odomes for number 2, but Henry Jones makes so much more sense.

Didn’t do any looking…is #4 Larry Centers?
by thefourwinds on Jun 2, 2009 10:59 AM EDT up reply actions
Good guess, but no.
Off the top of my head, I think Centers went to a small school like Stephen S. Austin, or something like that.

not unless Eric put in muptiple false clues. Centers only went to one college, and it was neither Tenesse or NC State. And he only spent 2 years with us, not 5.

but you really have me stumped for who the 4th one is.
by CanadianBillsFan on Jun 2, 2009 11:06 AM EDT up reply actions
There is in fact only 1 false clue there. And if you have been paying attention to how I do these, it is in the same spot it always is.

Oh you son of a… I see it now… still doesn’t help me in finding the 4th player though.
by CanadianBillsFan on Jun 2, 2009 11:25 AM EDT up reply actions
- Is it Leonard Smith? Don’t think he went to either of those schools though…

4th player
The only player that I canthink of that was drafted by the Cards and was invloved with the Bills was Darwin Walker, and he never played a Down in Red and Blue. So is it Darwin Walker?
Yes it is. I know I kinda cheated, but hey the other 3 were easy.

Yeah that was cheap there Eric. And I still dislike Walker for refusing to play for us.
