1975 Rookie Profile: Danny Buggs

Wide Receiver
3rd Round
West Virginia
"This wide receiver won All-American honors in both his junior and senior seasons at West Virginia and made the Kodak All-American team as a junior. Buggs was also a two-year letterman in track with clockings of 9.5 in the 100 and 48.3 in an indoor 440-yard event. He was selected as the West Virginia Track MVP as a junior and also as the West Virginia State Amateur Athlete of the Year that same season.
Danny's statistics show a three-year harvest of 86 pass receptions for 1,796 yards and 15 touchdown receptions and a solid average-per-catch figure of 20.8. He was also used on running plays, reverses and end-arounds and in three seasons carried 36 times for 553 yards, an average of 15.3 yards per carry and six more touchdowns, and added even more lustre to his credentials by being a punt return man, showing 41 returns for 299 yards and three more touchdowns!
A native of Atlanta, Danny starred in all sports in high school in his hometown- as a running back and receiver in football and as a sprinter in track in the 100 through 440 and in relay events."
