_Marlin_McKeever4.jpg
Marlin played in 8 seasons total for us. he played in 95 games. I have him listed as a LB/TE because that's the way he was listed at Pro-Football-Reference.com.

He had 119 rec./ for 1553 Yds./a 13.1 aver./ and 6TD's/ He also had 8 INT's/for 47 Yds./and 6 FR's.

He was a much better player than you might think, just looking at his stats!

NEXT:
TE - Damone Johnson - 1986-92
D.Johnson4.jpg

Johnson was a Rams 6th round pick #162 overall in 1986. In his7 seasons he played in 82 games and had 132 rec./ for 1015 Yds./and 18 TD's/ he also played in 5 Playoff games and had 8 rec./for 53 Yds./and 2 TD's.

NEXT UP:
* WR - Jessie Hester - 1994-95

Manumaleuna2.jpg

In 2006 we Traded him to the Chargers for 4th round pick, #113 overall, and we picked Victor Adeyanju. You can decide if that was a good trade or not!

NEXT:
* TE - Roland Williams - 1998-2000 & 2005
Roland Williams2.jpg
Williams was a 4th round pick, #98 overall in 1998.

Roland Williams1.jpg
The Rams traded him to the Raiders in 2001 for a 4th round pick, #123 overall, which was subsequently traded for Marcus Bell. BUT Roland came back to us in 2005.

Next: "JUST BECAUSE I LIKE THE GUY!"
* DE/TE - Mason Brodine
Mason Brodine86.jpg
Brodine1.png
Brodine 2.jpg
He never got much playing time, and they tried to keep him by switching him from DE to TE, But it didn't work out! I for one wish it had!

NEXT: MY LAST. FOR TODAY!!
File this in the "Because I liked his name File"
* DE - Jack Bighead - 1955 ( HE ALSO WORE #89)
Jack_Bighead.jpg
He only played in 2 games, and has no stats. But as I said I like the name, and as you will come to realize, I'm partial to Players from the 1950's Era!

OK, Ladies and Germs. Your turn! What great photo's Video's and memories do you have to share with me today!!?

Roland Williams caught Kurt Warner's first touchdown pass.


This one is a little tough to see, but Brandon Manumaleuna makes a spectacular touchdown catch between 3 seahawk defenders! (Click "Watch on YouTube" to view the video)

You're welcome. I'm betting you'll have a game action pic of him when you do your countdown next year.
