Tony Horne!!! Very under rated member of the GSOT. He had a short 3 year career but had 4 kick returns for TD, 4th in the playoffs of 99. Man was that dude fast so much fun watching him back there for kickoffs.

He was amazing to watch. That year he averaged nearly 30yds per kick return.

Big part of that team!

(Granted the rules have since changed; but for perspective Devin Hester, regarded as one of the best in today's game, averaged 25yds per return in 2014.)

With the alm: you obviously know why I, um, forgot him!:shades:

 

[DaveFan'51]

I was just thinking, with 'Face Guards' like these, is there any wonder why the league eventually changed them!?!

Our current #82 Johnny Mundt showed a little promise in the preseason last year. (He switched numbers this year.) There is some intriguing depth at the tight end position this year. It will be exciting to see who emerges.
