Who had the highest total of receiving yards in Super Bowl XXXIX, when the Patriots beat the Eagles, 24-21?of New England caught 11 passes for 133 yards.We asked you: Who is the first Black quarterback you recall and what qualities of that player were memorable for you? Among your responses:
Michigan State played Notre Dame in the epic battle of undefeateds in 1966 which ended in the famous 10-10 tie, Game of the Century. Jimmy Raye was Michigan State’s quarterback. He was Black. So were the stars of the team, Bubba Smith, wide receiver Gene Washington, linebacker George Webster, and running back Clint Jones. Raye would become an NFL assistant for many years.
He was drafted by the Patriots and played in the CFL as a quarterback. He was an aggressive runner and excellent passer. It was a lot of fun to watch him play.The first black NFL quarterback that I clearly remember was Joe Gilliam with the Steelers. He had some really good days and some really bad ones. Very talented guy, but if I remember correctly he had problems staying with Chuck Noll’s game plans and the I think had some drug problems later on.
