Crazy Stat: Fred McAfee 10yrs TD's: 0

Beastmode · 02-08-2017, 11:19 PM

I thought he had a few in that span. According to these stats 10 years with no TD's.

Fred McAfee Stats | Pro-Football-Reference.com

Pretty mind numbing for a RB with a 16 yr career. Granted, he was never the main effort or anything but still. Be honest, would you have guessed he went 10 years without a TD?

At what point does a coach not say hey, nobody will ever see this coming. No TD attempts to him in 7 years...oh we got this.

Oh, and he was also a member of the Super Bowl XXX Steelers but they lost. Pretty amazing career, athlete and amazing dude. People sincerely loved the guy.

Says he was Pro Bowler in 2002.

I always thought McAfee was a CB or Safety? I recall that as far back as early 90s when he was with the Saints.

Freddy Mac! I loved him too. I'll never forget the long run he busted on a fake punt. I remember thinking little of it when he was brought back because he was already in or around his 10th season, he sure proved me wrong. Great in every phase of the kicking game. Wish we had a guy like him around these days.

He was also a state champ in the poll vault. just a great all around athlete. Probably would have had a much better career stat wise today with the spreading the ball around. I bet Brees would have made him a superstar.

Well, we do have him around.

He's a run game consultant or some such thing.

Ran into him at Sammy's in Metairie not long ago.

For the record, Sammy's has the best roast beef poboys around.

Flame Away!!!!!

I almost forgot about that one. That was awesome especially being long in his career.

Can't help but wonder what Belichick would have done with Fred. Bet he'd have some TD's.

Return specialist coach?

Are you thinking of Fred Thomas?

Ok, after watching My Draft Story he was not a good pole vaulter. Most teams did not have one so it was more of a point scoring scheme. Even if he failed that's still points but he was clearing the 7ft mark and seemed to improve over the season. Most other states though likely not going to happen.

Pretty funny video though. He chose his college based off of all you can eat steak night. He had never had a real steak before. Also all you can eat ice cream. That is what sealed the deal.
