Lasting legacy: Rashaan Salaam’s life still inspiring others

Reluctant at first, Rashaan Salaam finally agreed to do an interview with BuffZone.com in December of 2014 to talk about the 20th anniversary of his Heisman Trophy-winning season of 1994 with the Colorado Buffaloes.

Colorado’s Rashaan Salaam won the Heisman Trophy in 1994.

Over lunch at Boulder’s Fate Brewing Company, Salaam relaxed and talked about his childhood, his 1994 season, his post-college struggles and how he liked meeting some of his heroes – fellow running backs such as Tony Dorsett, George Rogers, Mike Rozier and Billy Sims – during the times he would return to New York City for the Heisman ceremony.
