RB Tommy Watkins put in a solid six seasons (1962-67) with the Lions before playing one game with Pittsburgh in '68.
Actually, Watkins was a member (albeit briefly) of 4 teams in '68. He was sent from Detroit to LA in the Bill Munson trade; released and played 1 game with Pitt; then signed with San Diego (didn't play); finished year on Rams taxi squad.
Watkins retired in spring '69 and stayed in Detroit, running a couple McDonald's burger joints and coaching HS ball. He died in 2011.

Dale's 19.7 YPC over eight seasons as a Packer is the team's high mark for 150 or more receptions, impressive when you consider the franchise's long history and receivers over that time.Jay Z wrote:Dale was waived to the Bears in 1974 but retired in mid August. Maybe he should have stuck it out one more year. He could have helped the 1974 Bears, but then who couldn't?Brian wolf wrote:Carroll Dale finished his career playing in SB VIII with the Vikings ... How is he not in the HOVG ?
