76 days till Patriots season opener: Every player to wear No. 76 for New England

Here’s a list of every Patriots player to wear the No. 76 jersey number.

Former New England Patriots’ offensive and defensive linemen remain the focal points as we’ve now reached the 76th day in this countdown series for the Patriots’ regular season opener.

Today, this countdown features every Patriots player to wear the No. 76 jersey throughout the franchise’s history.

The most recent player to wear the number was former first-round draft pick and Super Bowl champion Isaiah Wynn. Things fizzled out in New England for the former Georgia standout offensive tackle, and he ended signing a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins in free agency.

However, Wynn isn’t the only former Super Bowl champion on this list. Here’s every Patriots player that wore the No. 76 jersey:

Ex-Giant Tom Rehder named Grover Beach Citizen of the Year

Former New York Giants Super Bowl champion Tom Rehder has been named the Grover Beach Citizen of the Year.

The City of Grover Beach honored former New York Giants offensive lineman Tom Rehder earlier this month with its Citizen of the Year Award.

Rehder, a third-round pick of the New England Patriots in the 1988 NFL Draft, spent the 1990 season with the Giants, picking up a championship ring after Big Blue knocked off the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV.

After two seasons with the Patriots and one with the Giants, Rehder spent a year out of football before joining the Sacramento Surge of the World League of American Football (WLAF). He later retired in 1993.

Rehder attended Santa Maria High School and now owns Mongo’s Saloon and 3 Fat Guys Diner in Grover Beach.

“By giving back and participating and becoming involved, you have a chance to make a difference. So if you sit on the couch, you’re not doing much. So get off the couch, go meet some people and make things happen,” Rehder told KSBY News.

Rehder accepted the award on February 3 at the Grover Beach City Council, anchored by his wife and daughter.
