@ Dean Cain was a rookie free agent out of Princeton in 1988. He choose to try out for the Bills because Kelso had a head injuries previous year, knew that with Marv Levy’s system, he would get the chance to play in the preseason and prove himself.
Unfortunately an old knee injury forced him to have surgery before his first preseason game but Marv Levy told him to return next year. Cain’s injury turned out to be worse than expected. The knee never completely healed, so he had to retire.
As Cain became famous, his former coach Marv Levy came up with one of his best-ever lines. One week, the Bills were getting ready to face an opponent that someone in the media had called a “superteam.” “How many of you remember Dean Cain?” Levy asked his players in the locker room. A few guys raised their hands. “Well,” Levy said, “we CUT Superman!”
