Classic Sports Card of The Day

07 Nov

1968 Topps football card of former pro flanker Al Denson, who had an uneven 8 year playing career, all but 1 of those seasons with the Denver Broncos. He led the AFL in touchdown receptions in 1967, and was named a league All Star that year and in 1969. Denson was mostly a second option in the passing game on those Bronco teams to Lionel Taylor. In 1970, the first year of the AFL-NFL merger when the 2 leagues became 1, he caught the first NFL touchdown pass in club history, from the late Steve Tensi.
