bopper2 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 In the NFL draft that followed the last game Woody Hayes ever coached, the Bills had two first round picks. They selected players from opposing teams in that game. Who were they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vorpma Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Bobby Crockett had a pretty good rookie year but suffered serious back injury in a 1967 pre-season game and never recovered. During the 1969 road game against Kansas City he made several clutch receptions while taking some vicious hits from the great KC defense, some captured by NFL films. He was injured again and never returned. Same as Bobby Burnett, rookie of the year in 1966 then suffered season ending injuries in 1967 never to regain form. My greatest memory of Bobby Crockett is in the 1966 Playoff game against the Chiefs, buffalo down 14 - 7 but driving. Jack Kemp throws to Bobby Crockett who appears alone in the end zone, but Johnny Robinson steps in front of him and intercepts returning it 72 yards, KC gets a FG and takes control 17 - 7. Immediately after the interception with Crockett in pursuit, Bobby Bell creams him with a block. I had an end zone seat and first hand view of the action.

vorpma Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 remember that play well.. Little did I know of the many years of Bills agony I would live through for the next twenty - years! I really thought the Chiefs win was pure luck and we would win it all next year! From an AFL perspective, the Bills dominance of the AFL during the 64 - 65 seasons was based on the NFL model, dominant defense and strong running game. The Chiefs truly took the league into the new era, speed (Otis Taylor/Mike Garrett) and the shifting offense of Hank Stram! Think of the legendary battles between the Chiefs and Raiders - long balls and the vertical game and the innovation of the offenses that followed.
