SI recently did an article on Marlin Briscoe, the first black quarterback to start for an NFL team. A reader named Doug Allsebrook of Hamilton, Ontario, pointed out that the first black quarterback to start for a pro football team was SU's own Bernie Custis, who was the starting quarterback for the 1951 Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
