Love the "He played for Who?" list. Here are some NFL ones to consider (they are all tied to the Carolina Panthers though):
*John Kasay - Kicker (most known for playing with the Carolina Panthers from their 1st game in 1995 until he was released 7/28/11)
He was originally drafted by the Seahawks in 1991 and played for them until the Panthers signed him prior to the 1995 season. He still holds the record for longest career with the Panthers and many other team records. Kasay ALSO played for the New Orleans Saints for the 2011 season!
*Tyrone Poole - Cornerback
He was drafted by the Panthers in the 1st Rd. in 1995. He played with them for many years. He was the starting cornerback for the Patriots in SB38 when they beat the Panthers!
*Ricky Proehl - Wide Receiver
He was drafted by the Phoenix Cardinals in 1990 out of Wake Forest University. He played for the Cardinals until he was traded to Seattle in 1995. He played for the Seahawks for 2 years and the Chicago Bears for a season. In 1998, he joined the St. Louis Rams (AKA - "The Greatest Show on Turf") and they later won SB 34 over the Titans. He was a factor again in SB 36 against the Patriots by scoring a game-tying TD, but they lost on a last-second FG by Adam Vinatieri. He signed a contract with Carolina before the 2003 season. He again made it to the Super Bowl (SB38), but on the losing end again b/c of Adam Vinatieri's game-winning FG to close out one of the greatest All-Time SB's. Proehl made it to ANOTHER SUPER BOWL (STILL as a player) when he came out of retirement to replace Brandon Stokley as a WR for the Colts in 2006. The Colts won SB 41 with Proehl and Vinatieri as teammates!
Proehl was 2-2 in Super Bowl games with 3 different teams and both losses were to Adam Vinatieri kicking FG's late in the game. The 2nd win was with Vinatieri as a teammate. Talk about conincidence!
On a side note, I have IP AU's of 2 of the WR's from the "Greatest Show on Turf". Torry Holt and Ricky Proehl are both from NC and I had the opportunity to meet each of them seperately. Torry didn't have his SB ring yet when I met him (plus, he had just finished his RC year). Ricky let me hold his SB34 STL Rams Ring and his 2003 NFC Champs Panthers Ring when I met him a few years later. (Plus, the Security Guys are HUGE!!!) It was awesome to talk to Ricky and I'll never forget that, especially since Sam Mills was supposed to be there the day before Ricky, but passed away on the Monday before the signing. RIP MILLS!!! KEEP POUNDING!!!
I'll never forget meeting those two members of one Super Bowl Championship team. Even though the team moved a thousand miles or so away from where they were, the former players are what I will remember. I'm not at all a Rams fans, no matter where they live now, but I'll never forget those 2 players that were part of the STL RAMS greatest team. They came from Carolina and I met them here in NC and then I later got to see the stadium before the Rams went BACK to LA.
NO PWE's EVER!!! PLZ PM me 1st before sending any offer. ONLY selling cards as of March 2024. No trades or purchases right now.
