    NFL OFFSEASON A Look Back at The PREVIEW 2016 Offseason 2017 New Contracts for Members of Falcons Core Top NFL Free Agents 2017 680 The Fan’s Carlos Medina aka “Front Office Los” breaks down all 32 NFL teams with in-depth analysis and research covering the 2017 offseason. Cam & Carolina Crash Back to Earth Follow Carlos Medina on Twitter @frontofficelos THE 2017 OFFSEASON Here is Where Championships are Built The Chance to Change Your Franchise Welcome to the 2017 NFL Offseason. This is the point where every NFL team has the chance to significantly alter their upcoming season with shrewd moves in both free agency and the draft. Consider what some of the best team in 2016 were able to accomplish during this point in the season last year: The Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots traded a fourth round pick to the Chicago Bears in exchange for tight end Martellus Bennett and a sixth round draft choice. Bennett would serve as the important #2 tight end in New England and the eventual starter with the injury to Rob Gronkowski. The Atlanta Falcons signed Cleveland Browns center Alex Mack to a contract that made him one of the highest paid centers in the NFL. Mack rewarded the Falcons with an All-Pro season in which he was the perfect piece in creating a solid offensive line. The team also added receiver Mohamed Sanu from Cincinnati who ended up catching 59 passes and four touchdowns. The Oakland Raiders gave a one year deal to receiver Michael Crabtree as he attempted to return from injury.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 1 (1994) Despite the physical and mental requirements, pro players have been able to combine sports and medicine DOCTORS IN THE HUDDLE BY JIM CAMPBELL Originally published in Legends, June 1985 WHEN ONE TAKES INTO account the number of youngsters who play football at some level in the course of a year and the number who reach the professional level eventually, the pro football player is truly one in a million. If you take that further and consider the handful of pro footballers who successfully combined an athletic and medical career, then you really have an elite group. Nonetheless, from the earliest days of the National Football League there have been players who have achieved that lofty height. Joe Alexander, an All-America center at Syracuse and later captain of the New York Football Giants, was one of the first with dual careers. Johnny Mohardt, a quarterback from Notre Dame, was another player/physician pioneer. Eddie Anderson, an end at Notre Dame who later became an outstanding college coach, was still another who combined medicine and pro football in the early 1920s. Although the first three NFL doctors are no longer living, two of them were members of a very exclusive group -- The Chicago Bears Doctors Club. Although the group was not formally chartered, it is more than a coincidence that nearly half of the players up to the 1960s who went on to become doctors played for the Bears. The reason, as both Mohardt and Anderson attested, was the player/coach/owner of theBears -- George S.
