Great start for Sipe ... the trade to Seattle got the veteran back to the West Coast. A native of San Diego who was the Browns' 13th-round draft choice out of San Diego State in 1972, "Brian continues to rehabilitate an old home he bought" in Encinitas, Calif., says his 1981 card.

BRUNSON!
ReplyDeleteAt the University of Colorado, Larry Brunson was running buddies with Raiders WR1 Cliff Branch. Brunson ran the 100-yard dash in 9.5 seconds, says his 1977 card. He was the Broncos' 11th-round draft choice in 1972 but never played in his rookie season in Denver. He latched on with New England for 1973, but, again, never saw a down of action with the Patriots that season. "Clinched berth on Chiefs roster with 1974 pre-season performance against Rams when he returned kickoffs for 81 and 41 yards and also scored touchdown on 66-yard passing play." He's been with Kansas City ever since ...
