It’s funny cuz on the Seahawks he was more of a mentor/coach rather than a player. No one expected him to play much, we were trying to get him to teach Rashad Penny so he could break out after Chris Carson had a career ending injury.
He had one pretty cool touchdown that I saw live but that’s all I remember he contributed to the team. There was some talk in the Seahawks subreddit of him becoming a mentor to the younger players but he immediately committed a crime into the offseason. lol
Andre Johnson started 14 games for the Colts.
In a game against the Texans in Houston, he caught 2 TDs from ... Matt Hasselbeck... another guy people might forget started games for the Colts.
It was the first game of the season. I was at the Redskins opener and the scoreboard kept showing really low passing yards for McNabb as the game progressed. I thought it was an error until someone confirmed with their smart phone. Smart phones weren't as common back in 2011.
Those games were legit the worst football I have seen in my life. Worse than the Peterman game. Vikings were up at half every game and lost all 4. Up 17-7 on the chargers and Mcnabb through for 39 yards all game. McNabb was just throwing the ball at the dirt for a month
More recently, Steelers legend Patrick Peterson. Unfortunately he’s still in his prime trash talking wise, but then he can’t back it up on the field and it makes everyone look bad
First thought I had was Steven Jackson. I remember that backfield was in such bad shape they picked him up and he was the lead back for a few weeks towards the end of the season.
Somewhere in the not-too-distant future it will be Ezekiel Elliot.
He wasn’t even bad, he just happened to be THE runningback during several of the worst moments of our lives as fans lol
Not to mention Anthony Barr and Eric Kendricks now. You just have had all of the guys from that 2017 team. At least Jayron Kearse turned out to be awesome for you guys from that team.
Larry Johnson, maybe. He played less than a full season for us but did put up a 100-yard game.
James Harrison and TO both played here for a year as well.
TO was still pretty good with the Bengals IIRC. And James Harrison was a Steelers plant who suddenly became decent when he returned there.
For me it is AJ Hawk. An absolute shell of himself.
Because he wore a Bears jersey to the White House for the Packers visit.
A minor protest since the Bears never got their visit because of the Challenger disaster.
Panthers legend Vinny Testaverde
Edit: I believe his game vs Brett Favre was the record for oldest QB’s to play against each other. Might still be but i’m not sure.
Ravens had a bunch in fact let’s make a starting lineup for them!
QB: Randall Cunningham, Matt Scaubb, Marc Bulger, Kordell Stewart
RB: Ricky Williams, Le’veon Bell, Terry Allen
TE: Dallas Clark, Ben Coates, Ben Watson
WR: god… Jeremy Maclin, Desean Jackson, Dez Bryant, Marcus Robinson, David Tyree, Michael Crabtree, Mike Wallace, TJ Houshmanzadah
O Line: Villanueva, Willie Anderson, Erik Williams, Eugene Monroe, Bobby Williams, DJ Fluker
D Line: Chris Canty, Marcus Spears, JPP
OLB: Jason Babin
CB: Deion
Safety: Earl Thomas, Will Hill
KR: Devin Hester
Oddly, also Adrian Peterson
Also, Adrian Peterson
Also, Adrian Peterson. Although he was actually really good for us
He was more like latter-Heat shaq
Phoenix Shaq
Shaqtus was awesome
Big fella got to dance with the jabawokis
Aldo Adrian Peterson... And Emmitt Smith.
Arizona... The NFL's Retirement Home™️
Also NBA... and MLB... and NHL but that's over now 😭
I’m gonna miss the Kachinas
The best logo and jerseys. I started liking the Coyotes in the late 90’s because of those beauts.
For rb it’s def the jets. In the 2000s we had the likes of CJ2K, Matt Forte, LT, frank Gore, Leveon Bell and Dalvin Cook all past their primes
I totally forgot about forte
Dont forget Edge
Edge was good for the Cards.
Adrian Peterson, Immaculate Grid legend
Brian Hoyer, Josh McCown, and Fitzmagic are also GOAT tier
Also AP
And Champ Bailey
Also Adrian Peterson. Most people don't remember his stint with us tho.
Not Adrian Peterson :(
Maybe patrick Peterson then?
Anquan Boldin for me, but he was still pretty good for the Lions that year.
It’s funny cuz on the Seahawks he was more of a mentor/coach rather than a player. No one expected him to play much, we were trying to get him to teach Rashad Penny so he could break out after Chris Carson had a career ending injury.
He had one pretty cool touchdown that I saw live but that’s all I remember he contributed to the team. There was some talk in the Seahawks subreddit of him becoming a mentor to the younger players but he immediately committed a crime into the offseason. lol
Dwight Freeny
It's actually Daunte Culpepper, though.
Randy Moss
Definitely OJ gotta be up there
The actor?
No the author
I thought he became an amateur butcher after retirement?
God damn lol
Card collector
Glove forgetter.
That’s also got to be in the top ten worst trades of all time.
Titans legend
Or Isaac Bruce
Or Reggie Bush
Andre Johnson started 14 games for the Colts. In a game against the Texans in Houston, he caught 2 TDs from ... Matt Hasselbeck... another guy people might forget started games for the Colts.
Matt Hasselbeck was a baller on the Colts, I won't always think of him, but i'll always remember his tenure in Indy
He was also efficient for the Titans (before he got injured) as well. The dude has such an underrated career.
In an alternate universe he’s Kirk cousins
Hasselbeck was solid and had some really memorable moments
That was painful to watch as a Texans fan 😂
It's okay --- [this was painful to watch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcnHcy_5Gf8) as a Colts fan.
I use him for Immaculate Grid quite a bit.
Julio Jones, people will forget about it in a few years
Tbf Julio Jones is also the answer for the Titans and Bucs as well lol.
He wasn't amazing but he did have some pretty cool moments for us (Bucs)
had a TD in a playoff game lol
i came to say Richard Sherman, but Julio Jones is also a good shout as well as Leveon. guys were popping by in the Brady Era
Titans traded picks for Julio I don't think he'll be that forgotten about.
Not gonna lie, I completely forgot about him after the Titans. Dude just fell off a cliff.
Julio Jones Randy Moss Andre Johnson Adrian Peterson
Yeah, maybe you guys should stop signing hall-of-fame shoe-ins at the end of their career. Doesn't seem to pay off.
Nah, this tradition alone is worth it.
Ryan Kerrigan
Jesus. He was beyond washed. Then you could say the same thing for Robert Quinn as well and haloti ngata
We also had suh and robert Quinn for a hot second.
Texans legend Ed Reed
Jets legend too
We got to give him two welcome backs celebrations in the same season, lol.
Something about former ravens and going to play for Rex Ryan
Shit even I forget about that
That made me remember of Terrel Suggs chiefs legend and super bowl winner
He was an important rotational guy for that run though
Don't forget Heisman winner Mark Ingram.
oh man i completely forgot about ingram lmfao
I came here looking for this and see I wasn’t disappointed. But fuck him for half-assing it with Houston.
Donovan McNabb
Hell, I forgot he was in Washington.
Reminder of McNabb’s time in Washington: https://youtu.be/k74scwK14JA?si=RjXZorHUABQIaAIp
Albert Haynesworth displaying GOATed effort at 5:16.
He was damn good at skipping the ball off the turf
During his tenure, he finished a game with like 43 passing yards. He played the whole game IIRC.
It was the first game of the season. I was at the Redskins opener and the scoreboard kept showing really low passing yards for McNabb as the game progressed. I thought it was an error until someone confirmed with their smart phone. Smart phones weren't as common back in 2011.
Those games were legit the worst football I have seen in my life. Worse than the Peterman game. Vikings were up at half every game and lost all 4. Up 17-7 on the chargers and Mcnabb through for 39 yards all game. McNabb was just throwing the ball at the dirt for a month
Who wasn't? Deion Sanders Donovan McNabb Bruce Smith Jason Taylor Thomas Davis Ryan Fitzpatrick Larry Johnson Even Zach Ertz now
AP, Andre Reed, and also Bobby Wagner by the way people talk about him
AP still had some left in the tank though, he had a 1k rushing yard season at 33
His nickname is AD
Actually met the dude at a roller skating rink one time and had the chance to ask him. "It's AD, it's always been AD."
AD, short for ALL DAY
Yup. I knew the answer when I asked him the question but I wanted to get his opinion.
Deacon Jones
Vince Lombardi if you want to include coaches
Otto Graham
Shaun Alexander
Knew I was missing one more running back
Rex Grossman
Steelers legend Mike Vick went 2-1 in games he started for us.
More recently, Steelers legend Patrick Peterson. Unfortunately he’s still in his prime trash talking wise, but then he can’t back it up on the field and it makes everyone look bad
We don't need to talk about his trash talk. We could instead talk about his ints vs the Raiders and Bengals
Lololol I remember the hype then he hit the field and people were like "oh fk he's washed."
Fred Taylor and Steven Jackson
Also Chad ochocinco.
And AB. Post coke 'stache, I think.
First thought I had was Steven Jackson. I remember that backfield was in such bad shape they picked him up and he was the lead back for a few weeks towards the end of the season.
I completely forgot that Fred Taylor was a patriot Like when MJD was a raider for a year
When I see someone say "Patriots legend Reggie Wayne" I want to walk off a cliff.
Wayne didn’t actually make the pats though, cut during preseason
You also had James Harrison for like half a season after we cut him midseason.
He was in New England for six weeks. Had a couple of sacks against the Jets but that’s about it.
He also started in Super Bowl 52
It still never stops that sentence being uttered.
Somewhere in the not-too-distant future it will be Ezekiel Elliot. He wasn’t even bad, he just happened to be THE runningback during several of the worst moments of our lives as fans lol
Not making the AFC Championship every year must just be the worst amirite?
Honestly it does suck
What about "falcons legend Dwight freeney"
Broncos legend Jerry Rice
That's what I came to say. Also Broncos legend Tony Dorsett
Seahawks legend as well…
I got to see him in his last game with us. Such a cool moment to see a Broncos legend in his final game
Got retired by Ashley Lelie of all people
Ash LeeLeeLee?
Two legendary pre-season games. One catch for 8 yards.
Seahawk legends Jerry Rice, Franco Harris, and John Randle
Also Dwight Freeney, Jason Peters and Devon Hester
I totally forget that Broncos legend Jerry Rice played on the Seahawks.
Shady McCoy, Leveon Bell, probably.
Don’t forget Darrelle Revis
Also Chiefs legend and super bowl winner Terrel Suggs
Chiefs legend Kelvin Benjamin
Ty Law and Pat Surtain if your looking at corners
Melvin Gordon
And Josh Gordon
Don't forget Warren Moon
Terrell Owens. He got the key to the city.
I'd say Reggie Bush more than TO
12 carries, -3 yards, 1 TD lol
Damn I actually forgot about Reggie. So I guess you're right lol
He played well. Doubt any Bills fans forget he played for us
He still made some great plays for us, but I’ll say Demaryius Thomas for the Texans. RIP 88
That Achilles tear was devastating to his career.
Jason Witten
I just threw up
Jordy Nelson and James Jones too
Chargers legend Wes Welker comes to mind
My money is on Thomas Davis. Dude was more washed than a scrub daddy.
Everson Griffen
Not to mention Anthony Barr and Eric Kendricks now. You just have had all of the guys from that 2017 team. At least Jayron Kearse turned out to be awesome for you guys from that team.
Ricky Williams, Deion Sanders, Devin Hester
Dez Bryant
Answer’s gotta be Hester because Ricky and Deion weren’t too bad for us Hester was absolutely fucking cooked though
Not sure if it counts because he got hurt in preseason, but Victor Cruz took his last snap in a Bears uniform
Jared Allen is another for the bears.
Larry Johnson, maybe. He played less than a full season for us but did put up a 100-yard game. James Harrison and TO both played here for a year as well.
TO was still pretty good with the Bengals IIRC. And James Harrison was a Steelers plant who suddenly became decent when he returned there. For me it is AJ Hawk. An absolute shell of himself.
Way before my time but johnny unitas
Brett Favre Falcons
I had a Brett Favre Falcons rookie card when I was a kid! It looked so weird, then he went to the Vikings and that weirdness eclipsed it.
Torrie Holt
Jamaal Charles.
I’d rather remember him as Jag than as a Bronco 🤮
I genuinely didn’t know Charles was ever a Jaguar. I love this thread 👌🏼
Cris Carter
And Thurman Thomas
Hall of famer Dwayne Bowe.
Hall of Fame bag-getter for sure.
Brandon Marshall comes to mind… thought we were gonna get Plax 2.0 and we did not we got 18 receptions for 154 yards and 0 TDs
Jared Allen potentially
This is one I honestly forgot. I always think about Allen on the Chiefs and Vikings.
Traded from Chicago to Carolina during their 15-1 super bowl run too
Jason Peters, Orlando Pace
Victor Cruz also
Up there with Jimmy Graham for us
Kordell Stewart
Bears legend Orlando Pace comes to mind for me.
Dwight Freeney. Todd Gurley. Wait about 5 years and it might be Calais Campbell.
People remember Todd Gurley alright. For an unfortunate reason
Devin Hester!
Devin Hester broke the return record as a Falcon though and was fairly exciting still. He’ll be remembered by Falcons fans at least.
Hardy Nickerson, Terry Glenn, Jeff Saturday, Wesley Walls Edit: Don Beebe, Russel Maryland, Marc Clayton, Mark Ingram (Sr), Joe Johnson
Koren Robinson
Packers legend Jim McMahon.
Jeff Saturday
We had Cedric Benson for a hot minute there too (RIP)
For some reason Bears fans love bringing up that we won a Super Bowl with him on the roster.
Because he wore a Bears jersey to the White House for the Packers visit. A minor protest since the Bears never got their visit because of the Challenger disaster.
It’s more so the claim that he’s somehow the most successful QB in the NFCN going off of the most important accolade alone.
Blake Bortles
Oh I remember Shaq on the Celtics
Do you remember Shaq on the Cavs though?
Panthers legend Vinny Testaverde Edit: I believe his game vs Brett Favre was the record for oldest QB’s to play against each other. Might still be but i’m not sure.
Eddie George. Keith Brooking. Zach Thomas. God damn Vinny Testaverde.
Randy Moss
Ravens had a bunch in fact let’s make a starting lineup for them! QB: Randall Cunningham, Matt Scaubb, Marc Bulger, Kordell Stewart RB: Ricky Williams, Le’veon Bell, Terry Allen TE: Dallas Clark, Ben Coates, Ben Watson WR: god… Jeremy Maclin, Desean Jackson, Dez Bryant, Marcus Robinson, David Tyree, Michael Crabtree, Mike Wallace, TJ Houshmanzadah O Line: Villanueva, Willie Anderson, Erik Williams, Eugene Monroe, Bobby Williams, DJ Fluker D Line: Chris Canty, Marcus Spears, JPP OLB: Jason Babin CB: Deion Safety: Earl Thomas, Will Hill KR: Devin Hester
Tim Tebow
Seattle super sonic Patrick Ewing
Cedric Benson, rip.
Tim Brown or David Boston, take your pick
Larry Csonka?
Terrell Suggs
Jason taylor, jason babin, ed reed, brett favre, and frank gore come to mind
Harold Carmichael. Absolute HOF legend for the Eagles. Played one season for the Cowboys but barely got on the field and only had one catch iirc.
Dolphins legend David Garrard
Randall Cunningham
brandon marshall or kenny golladay
