Stanley Morgan was a stud offensive skill player at the University of Tennessee, where he was used mostly as a rusher. The New England Patriots knew they had something special in Morgan when they used the 25thOverall Pick in 1977 to land him, but they found that he would be better served as a Wide Receiver.
Mike Haynes played the first seven of his fourteen-year career with the New England Patriots, and he was a Pro Bowl Selection in six of them.
Ty Law came to the New England Patriots as a First Rounder (23rdOverall) 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.
