I also accidentally omitted another HBCU guy John Taylor from Delaware State who was the star WR for the 49ers in the early 1980's. I think DSU would have been Division II during the years he attended. He won three Super Bowl rings. Taylor was certainly a heck of a story. He failed to make the team at Johnson C. Smith and was finally given a chance to play college ball after transferring to Delaware State.
