jumbalaya Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Anybody of hear much from Shane Nelson of Bermuda Triangle fame? The guy would have been one of our best ever players if his knee didn't give out, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Wow. You guys are really old. I don't remember Bobby Burnett and I started following the team around 1969. Was that before the invention of the forward pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Wow. You guys are really old. I don't remember Bobby Burnett and I started following the team around 1969. Was that before the invention of the forward pass? Ouch. Burnett had a high ceiling then suddenly gone. You probably don't remember Preston Ridlehuber then.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Ouch. Burnett had a high ceiling then suddenly gone. You probably don't remember Preston Ridlehuber then. Not from memory but Preston is a very important figure in Buffalo Bills lore so I've studied up on him. BTW, during the game which led to Kay Stephenson's firing (against the Bud Grant-led Vikings) someone made a Preston Ridlehuber sign that was hung along the Bills Wall of Fame with the same sized letters. It was a damn funny sight during yet another dismal Bills loss. Talk about a very noteworthy if undistinguished career: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston_Ridlehuber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Burnett had a great rookie year. Maybe the best rookie year ever for a buffalo bill? That is one hell of a claim, but his "one and done" career was a real shooting star. The injury sounds like one that would take a player out of the game even today. The Sestak article made me wonder why those talking about Andre Reed and other Bills as hall of fame prospects haven't brought him up? I suppose so much time has passed its beyond considering?

dwight in philly Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Even if you don't remember him, you might find this interesting - as is this website (for those who remember the AFL)..... Bobby Burnett i remember him well, as a matter of fact, he stayed in buffalo during one off-season and he substitute taught gym at south park H S while i was there. very nice, humble guy, as i recall. too bad about his career ending so early.
