Sport Matters: Saluting a Legend - Marlin "The Magician" Briscoe
Hosts Kenneth L. Shropshire and William C. Rhoden are joined by James "Shack" Harris, the first Black quarterback to start for an NFL franchise (Buffalo Bills), to remember the life and legacy of Marlin "The Magician" Briscoe, a pioneer in American football and the first Black starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos. During his college years at the Municipal University of Omaha, Briscoe led his team to three conference championships. Briscoe also set the school record for touchdown passes (52), passing yards (4,935) and career total offense (6,253 yards). Nicknamed "The Magician" for his on-the-field prowess, Briscoe was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2016, and is remembered for the contributions he made in carving the path forward for Black quarterbacks and athletes that have come after.
