Milk Carton All-Star of the Week.....10/16/09


The man you see before you is human freight train and former All-Pro fullback, Sam Gash. How insignificant is the former two-time Pro Bowler? It took me 15 minutes to find a picture of Gash that wasn't of some guy wearing a Sam Gash jersey or of him as a position coach with the Jets and Lions.
..
Gash wasn't much of a stat machine as a runner. In his 12 year career, he rushed for a total of 327 yards and a breathtaking two touchdowns. Gash's strengths were mostly blocking and catching the occasional pass out of the backfield. In fact, in 1999, Gash was selected to the Pro Bowl despite not carrying the ball once. As a receiver, Gash racked up 169 receptions for 1,347 yards......for his career. However, in 2000, he was a integral part of the Ravens Super Bowl win(which is to say, he was on the starting roster for an offense that piggybacked one of the greatest defenses of all time). Gash started his career in New England, then made a pit stop in Buffalo, then won a ring with Baltimore, then finished out his career with the Bills once more.
...
So let's give a round of applause for the poor man's Craig Heyward......Sam Gash, everybody!
