Mark Kelso '85 graduated from the College and was originally drafted by the
Philadelphia Eagles to play free safety, but wound up spending his entire
professional career in Buffalo. Along the way, he and his Bills achieved
something that may never be matched by any team in the National Football
League.
"There were years when we didn't lose a home game," says Kelso about the
teams he played for, which reached the Super Bowl four times in a row (from
1990 to 1993). "Just being there four times was pretty special. I think that I
would have traded those four for a couple of victories."
"It doesn't come up too often, but with the lack of success recently in
Buffalo, people think a lot about those times when the team was perennially
good," he says.
Kelso made his home in the Buffalo area after retiring after the 1993
season, and has since moved into realm of media, helping to give color to
Bills' radio broadcasts. He also serves a local high school as a development
officer and has also coached both youth football and baseball for some time.
