Marlin Briscoe broke almost every rookie quarterback record in Denver Broncos history, but was released without explanation. Then Marlin switched to wide receiver, earning All-Pro honors and two Super Bowl rings.
But despite his lifetime of success on the football field, Marlin the Magician’s toughest opposition was against drugs and himself — a struggle that left him on the streets of L.A. and nearly took his life.
From his early years in Omaha, Nebraska, to racial confrontations and near-death personal struggles, The Magician is the true story of Marlin Briscoe, the American Football League’s first black starting quarterback.
