The former Patriots Where are they now? thread

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

I haven't seen a thread like this done, so if anyone would like to add a piece to this thread feel free to do so

I have always loved to hear what former Patriots of the past are doing in their post NFL careers,whether they retired from the NFL last year or 30 years ago.

I found a recent piece on kicker John Smith and his memories of the John Lennon shooting nearly 20 years to this date which happened on MNF when the Pats played the Dolphins

Andy Katzenmoyer who I believed without his back problems would have gone down as one of the best Patriots LB ever

Great idea, I've been thinking about trying to put something like this together for a while.

There's this guy that I mentioned a month ago:

John Tanner, the man who did so much: Near death, perennial athlete, Vietnam veteran acknowledged life was 'good'

It led to a six-year NFL career, five with the New England Patriots, where one of his closest buddies was Mack Herron, a running back. Herron, from his Chicago home, recalled Tanner's surprising athleticism, especially for his size: "John was one of a kind. His speed amazed me. He played linebacker, and we'd run these patterns where we'd isolate a linebacker and then turn up field on a deep pattern. John was 6-5 and pushing almost 250 pounds, but he could stay with me."

I didn't quote anything else from that article, but if you click the link I have a feeling you'll find it very much worth the time you spend reading it.

Decided to look up Chris Slade, my fav non current Patriot. Apparently he works as a broadcaster/sideline reporter for University of Virginia football team now.

And I hear they need someone to clean the tables. Hopefully Brandon Tate doesn't wind up with it.

Rick Sanford, Pats first rounder in 1979, is a chiropractor in Columbia SC. The first Gamec0ck to ever be selected in first round of NFL draft, he was basically a bust in relation to his draft position. For a while we started the four first rounder defensive backfield with Haynes (1976 -5th overall), Tim Fox(76 -21st), Clayborn (77 -16th) (we also got Stanley Morgan at 25 in this draft - Clayborn and the Steamer - NOT TOO SHABBY), Sanford (79 - 25th). Then we drafted Roland James in 1980 with 14th overall (and Vagas Ferguson with 25th pick - nice one!!!) The board would have been going crazy for an OLB!!! If you need a chiro asjustment, just visit Dr. Rick's website below for contact info. You get an adjustment and talk old Pats football.
