NOTES:

Probably my first exposure to John was when he played on the Miami Wolves on the NES version of Tecmo Bowl. He was a pretty decent lineman on the team and could cause some havoc.

John’s sons Nick and Joey both play DL in NFL and were selected in the first round as well joining the Mannings’ and Matthews’ as the only families to score that trifecta feat.
