It's the only game he ever recorded any touches for the Bills. He was cut at the end of the season. Such a great story from Bills lore of the post-championship period. When I joined this board I tried to get the username Preston Ridelhuber but it was taken, both with and without a space between the names. Apparently I'm not the only Preston fan.

Thanks for sharing this ! Great story. I always appreciate those guys who played football from that era. They often had 2nd jobs or short careers with low pay. Sounds like Preston had a great life after too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
