Rick Upchurch was a decent Wide Receiver who started 69 of his 119 Games, which reflects where he was in the food chain. His best season as a wideout was in 1979 where he had 937 Receiving Yards with seven Touchdowns. Where he shined in the league was as a Returner, and he would be named a four-time Pro Bowl and two-time First Team All-Pro as a Return Specialist. Upchurch would three times lead the NFL in Yards per Punt Return, and overall he would accumulate 10,081 All-Purpose Yards.
Denver inducted Upchurch to their Ring of Fame in 2014.
