Johnny Rembert was drafted in the 4th round of the 1983 draft out of Clemson. A nice find by the Patriots at just the right place, Rembert would be named to the Pro Bowl twice during his career in 89 and 90 largely because he was a run stopper, recording 137 tacles in 1988, and 122 tackles in 1989. Injuries began to set in after that and derailed future Probowl attempts. Johnny played 10 seasons for the Patriots starting 72 games at LILB, RILB, and LOLB for the team.
He was named to the Patriots Hall of Fame in 2009 and currently is the Jaguars Quality Control Representative that oversees uniforms.

Bruce Armstrong is a dominant offensive lineman who still has not received his due for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. As the Patriots #1 pick in 1987, Bruce anchored the tackle position for the Patsies for 14 seasons earning 6 Pro Bowl nominations and starting 212 games. He is the Hew England Patriots all-time leader in games started.
Highly durable but considered (6-4, 295) undersized to play tackle, Armstrong made up for it with his speed, balance, and hands. He played right tackle for the first 44 games of his career before moving over to left tackle for the remainder of his time in New England. A career threatening injury ended his 1992 season prematurely, but Bruce surprised even the doctors when he came back from injury the next season. He is one of three players in the history of the league to play in three decades for the same team, playing his entire 14 season career for the Patriots. Since retirement, Armstrong has been inducted into the Patriots’ Hall of Fame, and has opened a salon with his wife.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
