Ottis Anderson went on to win a Super Bowl in his time with the Giants but he was rock solid with the Cardinals, though they were not in Arizona. He played eight seasons with the birds and rushed for 7,999 yards. Would have been nice if he could have gotten another yard to have averaged 1,000 year season as a Cardinal.
The New England Patriots got Tom Brady at 199. How did players in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft turn out and what did they grade?
The 2000 NFL Draft produced a memorable selection. It didn’t come in the first five rounds. Rather, it was the New England Patriots using a compensatory pick at 199 to select Michigan QB Tom Brady. How did teams do in the 2000 first round?
Trung Canidate played four seasons, rushing for 1,095 yards. His best season was his final one with Washington. He rushed for 600 yards in 10 games in 2003. In three seasons with Arizona, he ran for 495 yards. Grade: D-minus
Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota and others from the 2015 first round have left a lot to be desired.
The 2015 NFL Draft produced many players who were considered expendable by their teams long before the 2020 season. It is the classic example of how much of a guessing game the draft process can be. This first round will go down as forgettable as opposed to memorable.
Malcom Brown was drafted out of Texas. The defensive lineman spent four seasons with the Patriots before having his fifth year option declined. He wound up in New Orleans. Brown had 8.5 sacks as a Patriot and added two with the Saints. Can’t take away the two Super Bowl rings he has. Grade: C

There are familiar names and some surprises on the list of quarterbacks who are the all-time passing yardage leaders for each NFL team.
The quarterbacks who lead all 32 teams in passing yardage range from the obvious to the stunning.
Jim Hart played 18 seasons with the Cardinals, albeit all in St. Louis. He threw for 34,665 yards and 209 TDs against 247 picks. His lone year to lead in a category was 1974 when he threw 388 passes.
The New England Patriots set the bar for double-digit victories in seasons. Who has lost 10 or more games most recently and frequently?
Double-digit wins are hard to achieve. Double-digit losses are something every franchise hopes to avoid. When was the last time each team reached the height and suffered the depth?
The 2015 season was the last of three in a row that saw Arizona reach double digits in the victory column. Those Cardinals went 13-3 and fell in the Conference championship. The losing side has been far more recent as Arizona has lost double-digit games in each of the last two seasons.
See the sweet tweet and pics as NFL star JJ Watt marries pro soccer star.
It’s been a great start to 2020 for Houston Texans star JJ Watt.
Yeah, so he didn’t get to play in the Super Bowl, but he hosted “Saturday Night Live” on Super Bowl Eve and he got married to women’s pro soccer star Kealia Ohai on Saturday in the Bahamas.
Not bad.
In fact, Watt tweeted:
Best day of my life.
Without question.

It has been a very busy few weeks for the Watt family as reported here.
Good on ya, JJ.
(Small side note: Ohai’s father was one of my high school teachers and football coaches and one of the genuine nice guys, so what the heck, huh? Hi, Ben. Congrats to you and your family!)
