Sad but I don't know who he is. Wonder if he is related to former NFL WR Desmond Briscoe?

No, they are not related

First Black QB in the modern NFL era...
A trailblazer. RIH

I did not know he played for the Dolphins until today. I was 3 years old when he was on the team.

Cut from the Broncos for no reason after breaking rookie QB records there.

Glad he was able to at least earn a living in the league.

 

[The Ghost]

I didn't know much about him but remember the name, he was before my time.

All the best to his family, sounds like a real trailblazer.

[jimthefin]

Such a great name, perfect for a hero in a Western, "The name's Briscoe Ma"am, Marlin Briscoe".
