Summary

A few days after becoming head coach of the Buffalo Bills midway through the 1986 season, Marv Levy made his first personnel decision, claiming Houston Oilers reserve wide receiver Steve Tasker off the waiver wire. It seemed like an afterthought at the time, but in retrospect, proved to be one of Levy's most prescient moves.Over the next 11 seasons, the diminutive 5-foot-9, 175-pound Tasker was a huge contributor as the Bills strung together an unprecedented four consecutive Super Bowl appearances in the early 1990s. Along the way, Tasker earned seven invitations to the Pro Bowl, and during the National Football League's 75th anniversary celebration, he was named the greatest special teams player of all-time. In Steve Tasker's Tales from the Buffalo Bills, the football star turned network television analyst takes a behind-the-scenes look at the franchise's most glorious era.
