Looking Back

Here's something interesting I found today. It's a 'projected final roster' that I came up with during the offseason 2008. Its funny how some of the people on here didn't even make the team. It's funny how a couple of projected starters never got on the field whereas a couple of Special teamers ended up being starters. Just goes to show you never know how things will turn out in the end. Still, it was a fairly accurate projection considering we were 're-building'.
