Drafted #10 overall, 3 years in the league [eventually 7], 3 pro bowls, an AFC PotY already under his belt, and the run he went on in 1988, fuggedaboudit!!! AT was the shizz, until his brain got scrambled like he was at Benihanas. Fortunately he managed his money like few in NFL history, owns a chain of banks, on the BoD for the Packers. Life finally started being kind for ol' Al in his retirement.
The guy was drafted ahead of Jerry Rice, and for the time he flourished, . . . deservedly so!!
For those who didn't get to witness it, imagine Randy Moss, with Jerry Rice's dedication and intellect, and to watch it all be eroded by vicious hits, one after another. Gaither to Green, Gaither to Green, Gaither to Green.
