This episode’s special guest is one of the greatest returners in NFL history: Rick Upchurch. Drafted by the Denver Broncos in the fourth round of the 1975 NFL Draft, he is one of the few people who have been named to TWO all-decade teams. He led the league three times in punt yards per return AND in punt returns for touchdowns. He was named to four Pro Bowls, has been inducted into the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame and was named to the Denver Broncos 50th Anniversary team. He is currently ranked 11th all-time in punt return yards for a career. When he retired, he was first all-time ahead of Billy “White Shoes” Johnson.
