Okay, so, the other day I was digging through some old boxes, and I stumbled upon this total blast from the past – my notes on the 1990 New England Patriots roster. Man, that was a year, right? 1 win and 15 losses. Ouch. But hey, it’s still fun to look back and see who was on the field. So, I decided to make that information clear and input it into my computer.
First things first, I gotta say, finding reliable info on this wasn’t a walk in the park. I mean, it’s 1990. The internet wasn’t exactly what it is today. I started with some general searches, you know, typing in things like “1990 Patriots roster” and “Patriots players 1990.” I found some websites that had bits and pieces, but nothing super comprehensive.
Then, I remembered I had some old sports magazines from back then. Dug those out, and boom! Some articles that mentioned the roster. I felt like an archaeologist! I also checked some sports databases online, you know, the kind that keep track of stats and player info. Those were helpful for cross-referencing and making sure I had the right names and positions. But, not enough. So I searched each player, some of their individual interviews and articles to make sure I had the right names and positions.
After pulling all this info together, I started compiling it into a document. I made a list, going player by player, and included their positions. I also jotted down some notes about key players and their contributions, ’cause who doesn’t love a little trivia? I organized all the information in a simple, easy-to-read format.
Here’s what I gathered about the 1990 New England Patriots roster:
- Quarterbacks: Marc Wilson, Tom Hodson, Steve Grogan, Scott Zolak.
- Running Backs: John Stephens, Marvin Allen, George Wonsley.
- Wide Receivers: Irving Fryar, Cedric Jones, Hart Lee Dykes.
- Tight Ends: Marv Cook, Eric Sievers.
- Offensive Linemen: Bruce Armstrong, Damian Johnson.
- Defensive Linemen: Brent Williams, Ray Agnew, Garin Veris, Tim Goad.
- Linebackers: Andre Tippett, Johnny Rembert, Chris Singleton, Ray Agnew.
- Defensive Backs: Ronnie Lippett, Fred Marion, Rod McSwain.
- Special Teams: Jeff Feagles, Jason Staurovsky.
The head coach was Rod Rust, poor guy. He had a tough gig that year. Anyway, I spent a good chunk of time putting all this together, and it was a fun trip down memory lane. It’s crazy to think how much the team has changed since then.
So, yeah, that’s my little project on the 1990 Patriots roster. Hope you found it interesting. It’s not every day you get to revisit a season like that, even if it was a rough one for the team. I will continue to share my note-taking on this blog!
