Ty Law came to the New England Patriots as a First Rounder (23^rdOverall) from the University of Michigan, and he would prove to be one of the greatest defensive players in the history of the franchise.

We have lost another musical legend today.

Charley Pride, who last month was honored with a lifetime achievement award from the Country Music Association died at 86, due to complications from COVID-19.

Pride was a trailblazer in that he was the first black superstar of country music.  He amassed 21 number one hits on the country charts, with his first coming in 1966, and the last in 1984.  Pride’s earnest and humble music resonated with the traditionally white and southern country audience.  He would become the first black performer at the fames Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends, fans and family of Charley Pride.

Andre Tippett was an All-American at the University of Iowa, and he fell to the New England Patriots in the draft, where they chose him in the Second Round in 1982.

Logan Mankins was chosen with the last pick of 2005's First Round, and the Fresno State Bulldog went right to work as the New England Patriots' starting Left Guard.
