Junior Seau went to high school with my grandfather

[Steamer86]

It's amazing how old he is. I am almost 38 and it is kind of a passage in life, when there are no longer any players older than you. But I still have Junior playing MLB for the best team in NFL - so I should theoretically be able to go out and rake the leaves and jog the hood...

Haven't heard from Singleton and Agnew for many years. Most everyone else from this class has been gone for almost a decade. The next year, 1991, we drafted Leonard Russell - I think he is in a nursing home in AZ now, after a successful run as an AARP spokesman...

Go get em Junior. It will be awesome for him to earn his ring tomorrow. I am sure he will leave it all on the field. The guy is tough as nails. I'll never forget how tough he was when walking off the field with his arm snapped in half. GO PATS!!!

I've always loved the draft. I remember hoping Junior fell to us. Joel Buschbaum of PFW loved him. I remember being disappointed with our haul that year. Those were the days when draft day was the highlight of the year. Something Jet fans can probably relate to.
