1965 Topps football card of one of the top receivers in the early years of the American Football League, Bo Roberson. He played for 7 seasons in the AFL for 4 different teams, with his longest stint lasting 3 1/2 years with the Oakland Raiders. Roberson got a lucky break in the middle of the 1965 season – when the defending champion Buffalo Bills ran into injury problems at the receiver position, they traded with the Raiders to acquire him – and he helped the Bills win a second straight title. Roberson, a graduate of Cornell, also was a track star in his college days, and won a silver medal in the long jump at the 1960 Rome Olympics.
