Fun historical team facts.
Today in New England Football History
A Draft Pick Trade, and Locals



Happy 30th birthday to Tanner Muse
Born Sept 6, 1996 in Belmont, NC
Draft Pick Trade
April 24, 2020: Traded by the Patriots as the 2020 3rd round pick (100th overall), along with a 2020 4th round pick (139th overall, Amik Robertson) and a 2020 5th round pick (172nd overall subsequently traded, Jason Huntley) to the Raiders.
In exchange the Pats received a 2020 3rd round pick (91st overall, TE Devin Asiasi) and a 2020 5th round pick (159th overall, K Justin Rohrwasser).

Tanner Muse played in 36 games for the Seahawks, Chargers and Jaguars from 2021-2024. While that's nothing special, it was a hell of a lot more production than what the Patriots got out of trading up for Devin Asiasi (ten games), and Justin Rohrwasser (zero games). Muse now works on a Nascar pit crew.





Happy 82nd birthday to John Dockery
Born Sept 6, 1944 in Brooklyn, NY
Harvard

Dockery was a CB who played in 65 games for the Jets and Steelers from 1968 to 1973, and was part of the Super Bowl III championship. Following that Dockery worked as a color analyst for college football games on ABC and NFL games on CBS, and later as a radio sideline reporter on Monday Night Football games.





Happy 66th birthday to Rich Diana
Born Sept 6, 1960 in Hamden, CT
Born and raised in Hamden; Hamden High School; Yale

The running back was a fifth-round draft pick by Miami in 1982. After one season he decided to put his Ivy League education to better use than being a beat-up, brain-scrambled backup, and became an orthopedic surgeon.

In 1957 he returned to the NFL, accepting a job as a backfield and receivers' coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers and stayed in that position thru 1959. He then joined Tom Landry and the Dallas Cowboys for their first season in 1960, as their backfield coach. After two years he moved on to take the offensive coordinator coaching job at Wake Forest University.​

In 1964, he left to become the head coach and general manager of the Canton Bulldogs in the newly formed United Football League. In 1965 he moved with the franchise to Philadelphia and coached them for another season in the now, Continental Football League.​

He came back to the NFL in 1966, as the receivers' coach and Director of Player Personnel for George Halas and the Chicago Bears. He spent seven seasons in Chicago before accepting the position of offensive coordinator for the Southern California Sun football team in the World Football League and stayed with them until the league folded in 1976.​

After football, he sold real estate in southern California until he retired.​

He was inducted into the Indiana football Hall of Fame in 2007 and in 2009 he elected to the Purdue Hall of Fame.​
