RIP: Russ Francis, TE Patriots (1 Viewer)

All time great moustache.
Highschool record holder in the Javelin - 1971 record stood until 1988
2 years of College Football at Oregon, limited by injuries. Had 39 catches for 588 yards and 4 TDs. Despite that, was the 16th player taken in the 1st round of the 1975 draft. That's astounding!

RIP
 
Terrible.

Long time NE fan who started watching the Pats in the Joe Plunkett/Steve Grogan era. At the time he was considered the "all world TE."

Coined by Howard Cosell...that Pats team in 1976-77 was one blown call against the Raiders from winning a title which is why I have always looked at the Tuck Rule as payback...Francis was one of those larger-than-life personalities back in the day...he was on "the Superstars" and was in a Wrestlemania...when I look at his stats I swear they should be twice as big as they are.
