Patriots Trivia, Volume 2
Here is a little more trivia for the holiday weekend. Last week it was pointed out that 54 players on the Pats roster have never been part of another NFL organization. For those 34 other players, try to match as many as you can with the NFL team that they were last part of before joining the Patriots. But first, here are a few more questions from this group.
Note: for the purpose of this discussion, all players that finished the 2010 season with the Pats are considered to be part of the roster; i.e., players that were due to become free agents before the lockout, and practice squad players are included.
- What current Pats player has been with seven other NFL teams?
- Who are the three players that have been on four or more other teams?
- What team did Alge Crumpler last play for before joining the Pats?
- Name the four NFL teams no current Pats have ever been part of.
- How many former Raiders are with the Patriots?
- What team have five current Patriots played for?
- Name those five players.
- Which four teams have four or more Patriot players once been part of?
- Who are the three players that have rejoined the Pats after playing elsewhere?
- What two players were with the Colts before coming to New England?
- Name the two players that last played in Tampa Bay before becoming a Patriot.
- What NFL team originally drafted Eric Moore?
- Who are the two players that were once New York Jets?
- What team did Dan Connolly start his NFL career with?
- Who did Sammy Morris last play for prior to joining the Patriots?
Match the New England player to the team he most recently was a part of before joining the Patriots. (Apologies in advance for the (lack of) formatting.)
