This is my seventh and final post on my favorite players of all-time by jersey number. It's been quite a journey. After this, I'll write a quick recap post as well.
#83, Wes Welker. Only player I found in q&d search w/ more recs than Welker's 346 in 3 yr span was M. Harrison w/354. J. Rice's best: 342.
#84, Shawn Jefferson. The deep threat. He led Pats in Y/C in all 4 seasons (min. 30 recs), including league leading 22.7 in '98.
#85, Nick Buoniconti. Apologies to: Jermaine Wiggins. The HOF linebacker was way before my time, but Pats only have so many HOF'ers.
#86, Stanley Morgan. The ultimate deep threat, he avg'd 20+ Y/C his first 6 yrs. When he ruined body on turf, Pats finally switched to grass.
#87, Ben Coates. Was so sad when "Winter" Coates was released. His 96 receptions stood as record for TE's for decade be4 Gonzalez broke it.
#88, Hart Lee Dykes. Apologies to: Terry Glenn. Only played 2 yrs due to knee & eye injuries, but avg'd 16.2 Y/C & could have been great.
#'s 89-92 - Nobody.
#93, Richard Seymour. 1 of key cogs in the Pats dynasty, his trade this yr signaled end of era, tho it took us til Jan. to admit it.
#94, Ty Warren. Seymour's book-end on the d-line, Warren needs to prove next year he can be healthy and effective at the same time.
#95, Roman Phifer. 1 of the key, if not THE key, veteran free agent addition in the heralded free agent group of the '01 season.
#96 - Nobody.
#97, Matt Gilroy. Apologies to: Jarvis Green. BU's 2nd Hobey Baker winner is a great story & it was fun to watch him mature into champion.
#98 - Nobody.
#99, Mike Wright. He's been only a role player, but a damn entertaining one. W/ 5 sacks this yr, maybe he can be more in '10 & beyond.
