* Like father, like son: Jeff Davidson, the third player drafted by the Broncos, is the son of former Ohio State All-American Jim Davidson. The elder Davidson captained Woody Hayes’ 1964 club and was the Buffalo Bills’ No. 1 draft pick.

* The scouting report on Davidson, according to Joel Buchsbaum’s Scout’s Notebook ’90: “Very Smart. Honor student in electrical engineering. Tough. Plays hard. Has worked to improve. Gets better each season. Has good natural strength and some athletic ability.”
