He was a consensus All-American at QB in 1982 and a 1st team Academic All-American. In 1983, he was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs, where he played for five seasons (1983-87) before ending his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers (1988-89).
Todd went on to host radio sports-talk shows in Cleveland (WKNR) and Canton, Ohio (WHBC). He also did analyst work weekly for the Big East Network, Indianapolis Colts preseason games, and ESPN.
From 1994-98, he worked as a college football analyst for ABC Sports. In 1999, Blackledge joined CBS Sports as the lead analyst for the network’s college football coverage. Currently he is a college football analyst with ESPN & ABC doing one of their feature broadcasts each week with play by play man Brad Nessler.
