More for June 10:
Steve King, 66 (June 10, 1951)
Patriot LB, 1973-1981
Uniform #52
Due to paperwork not being properly filed for his redshirt freshman season at Tulsa, King went from ineligible for the draft, to eligible and then removed for the supplemental draft, to being declared a free agent. Remembering King from when he recruited him in high school, Chuck Fairbanks signed King as a rookie. He went on to play 124 games, mostly in sub packages and on special teams. King was a starter in 1974 and 1976, and was a team captain in 1981. For more on his career, check out Steve Balestrieri's 2013 interview, Catching Up With Steve King.
Jeff White, 69 (June 10, 1948)
Patriot K/P, 1973
Uniform #2
White took over as the Pats kicker in week four of 1973, and somehow lasted the rest of the season. He missed his only field goal try in a two-point week 5 loss to the Jets, then had a horrible game at Philadelphia two weeks later. White went 1-5 on his field goal attempts and missed an extra point in a 24-23 loss to the Eagles. In the final game of the season White missed both field goal attempts and an extra point in an 18-13 loss to the Colts. For the season White connected on just 14 of 25 field goals, including two misses from inside the twenty and going 3 for 9 outside the forty. In week four White had to fill in at punter and did not fare any better, averaging 27.2 yards per punt.
Dewey McDonald, 27 (June 10, 1990)
Patriot S, 2015
Uniform #31
The Pats claimed McDonald off waivers from Indianapolis on 10/28/15, adding him to the roster when LB Rufus Johnson was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list. He was released on November 12 and then went on and off the practice squad a couple times. McDonald was added to the active roster on 11/26 when Aaron Dobson was placed on IR, and then cut for good two days later. McDonald played in only one game for the Pats; he has appeared in 29 NFL games and is now with Seattle.
David Wilson, 47 (June 10, 1970)
Patriot S, 1992
Uniform #26
A late round pick out of Cal for the Vikings, Wilson appeared in one game for the Patriots in '92, a week 7 loss to the Browns.
Dan Kecman, 69 (June 10, 1948)
Patriot LB, 1970
Uniform #45
A literal one hit wonder, Kecman's sole NFL game was in week one of the 1970 season at the age of 22, in a 27-14 win for the Patriots against Miami. He is now an assistant high school footbal coach in Rockville, Maryland.
Mike DeVito, 33 (June 10, 1984)
Went to Nauset Regional High School on Cape Cod, and the University of Maine.
Defensive lineman spent nine years in the NFL, with the Jets and Chiefs.
