I know most of you don't even know who this was, but as a UK fan and obviously a Colts fan, and being an old fart, I do.
I remember the Colts drafting him in the first round (26th overall) in 1977 and he hardly caught enough passes in college to justify being a first round pick. The draft was less of a science back then than it is today however. I guess that 11/126 in the senior bowl was enough to justify the pick by the Colts. Still one of the dumbest first round picks the Colts ever made IMO. RIP Randy Burke.
