Most unheralded Mustang you've seen in person

Posted: Tue May 02, 2000 1:30 amChad Patton was one helluva a player who never got much respect. He did however make all SWC. Another one was Cary Brabham, the guy was good enough to play professional football(Raiders), and I saw him get at least one interception(maybe two, I can't exactly recall) in his blue-grey game, but he's never even mentioned on our board. how soon we forget.

Posted: Tue May 02, 2000 12:33 pmCary Brabham also played a year with the Carolina Panthers, I think, although he may have spent the year on the injured list.
When he was a rookie, trying to make the Raiders' roster, I had the opportunity to go into the locker room after a preason game in Dallas. I approaced Cary and asked how things were going, and all he said was that playing pro football made his body hurt in ways he'd never experienced. He looked completely exhausted (which is understandable, having just played a football game in Texas in August), but it paid off, since he made the team.
Good call on Chad Patton. The guy was like an early Luke Johnson - undersized DE who somehow got a bunch of sacks, and he also blocked some kicks. Great guy, too.

Posted: Tue May 02, 2000 11:01 pmI'll go along with Carey Brabham, he was a heck of a player.
I have a long list of SMU guys who didn't get the credit they deserved. One of them was fullback Dave Bostick back in the mid 70s. Another was CB Mickey Early.
