Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Jaydon Mickens still playing in NFL
I was remembering how all the people on other websites would make fun of how bad Jaydon was and wanted him replaced.
He has more NFL seasons under his belt than Mario Bailey and John Ross combined.
Always loved him

Had the game ending catching against USC but otherwise wasn't a difference maker in a year that included losses to Boise, Cal, and Utah.
Early years
Weinmeister was a two-time All-City tackle in high school, and played end, fullback and tackle during a 4-year tenure at the University of Washington which was interrupted by four years of army service. He was scouted by New York Yankees (AAFC) head coach Ray Flaherty while playing fullback.
Professional career
Weinmeister turned professional in 1948 and played defensive tackle for the New York Yankees in the All-America Football Conference until 1949, and for the New York Giants from 1950 to 1953. During his final season in New York, he served as the team captain. In 1949, Weinmeister won second-team All-AAFC as a rookie followed by first-team All-AAFC honors, was voted All-NFL Choice for four consecutive years (1950–1953), and was selected to play in the NFL's Pro Bowl every year from 1950 to 1953.
He was on the inaugural roster for the BC Lions in 1954, and played for the team for two seasons. He is one of five Saskatchewan natives to make it to the NFL (the other four being Jon Ryan, Rueben Mayes, Ben Heenan, and Brett Jones).
Plus, limited substitution era and the Huskies were really deep.
I loved the Raiders and the AFL. It was because of Big Ben.
