Marlin Briscoe, who became the first Black starting quarterback in the American Football League more than 50 years ago, died Monday. Briscoe, 76, had been hospitalized with circulation issues in his legs. The Omaha, Nebraska, native, was a star quarterback for Omaha University before the Denver Broncos drafted him as a cornerback in the 14th round in 1968.
