Who was Marv referring to?

[NC-BILLS44]

When he talked about drafting Conlan instead of some highly touted player that ended up in jail, who was the other player?

[Devin]

I was just wondering that.

[Historian]

Was the Boz in the joint?

[THATHURMANATOR]

Well I know we passed on Ron Woodson for Conlan(who was a decent player not great)

[Philagape]

I think it was jerome brown, didn't he get busted for coke

[Historian]

Ill bet it was Reggie Rodgers.

[Ickybaluky]

Conlan was drafted in 1987. Phillips was something like 10 years old then.

I was just looking at that draft trying to figure it out. The next 2 players drafted were Jerome Brown and Rod Woodson. Wow.

[NC-BILLS44]

(Brown) He died in a car accident.

Conlan was awesome for us. He had a few great years.

[audio/s]

The Broncos drafted Clarett (Oooo Cheap shot)

[Turf]

I seem to think it was Reggie Rogers too.

[Dr. Lecter]

Ill bet it was Reggie Rodgers.

That is what I thought at first too but Rogers went before Conlan. Although he did get a Bills tryout years later.

Did DJ Dozier end up in jail?

Oh yeah he went before him. DUH me. So it def wasn't him.

[EricStratton]

It could have been Rogers, we swapped picks with Houston that year.

[Ebenezer]

It was either Dozier or Brown...

Brent Fullwood 4th overall???? That might be the biggest bust at RB ever.

[ICE74129]

14 Minnesota D.J. Dozier RB Penn State

That is the guy I think marv was talking about. Remember how he said the next year they didn't have a first to get a RB and instead drafted some guy named Thurman Thomas? :lmao:

[THATHURMANATOR]

Conlan was awesome for us. He had a few great years.
I don't remember him being awesome. He was good to average from what I remember.

[Ebenezer]

:ill: That class is pretty crappy.
when a Duke player goes #5 overall in the NFL draft...that says something.

[Ickybaluky]

Conlan was awesome for us. He had a few great years.

I'm just saying, those are two great players to go there. Brown was incredible, although his career was cut short to injury. Woodson was named the the NFL 75th Anniversary team as a starting CB.

Those are some good players.

[Ickybaluky]

For a minute there I was thinking of Shane Nelson. I loved that guy.

[gil]

It had to be Reggie Rogers -

ROGERS, REGGIE
Reggie Rogers, a former University of Washington and Detroit Lions defensive lineman, was convicted of negligent homicide in the 1988 alcohol-related deaths of three Michigan teenagers. Rogers, who broke his neck in the crash, spent about one year in jail. In 1986, while Rogers was in college, drunken driving charges against him had been dismissed after several people appealed to a judge.

[socalfan]

All the talk that year was to get Reggie Rodgers. Everyone thought that the Bills would go for him because they thought the Bills would have a dominant pair of DEs.
