John Hannah

Considered one of the finest linemen ever to play football, John has been a solid part of the Patriots' offensive attack since his rookie season of 1973. .John is second to Julius Adams in games played with 169 (Adams has 180) and because he is such an impressive blocker, the Patriots like to go to Hannah's side in short yardage situations. Despite having nagging neck problems that kept him out of the Jets game at Foxboro on 10-28-84 and in traction for one week, John had another John Hannah-type season, and was thus selected for his 8th Pro Bowl game. He had to wear a special neck brace several games, and played with an injury that would have had a lot of other athletes not even dress for the games.

John has played in 169 of a possible 175 since coming to the pros. He and tackle Brian Holloway were selected to the Pro Bowl for a second consecutive season, reinforcing the coaches feeling that the Patriots have one of the best left sides on offense in the NFL. He was voted the top offensive lineman in the NFL by the NFL Alumni, and was honored at a banquet held at the Super Bowl. Johns other honors include: Sports Illustrated All-Pro, UPI All-AFC, NEA All-Pro, Sporting News All- Pro, College and Pro Football Pro, Pro-Football Writers All-Pro, Seagram Sports All-Pro, College and Pro Football Newsweekly All-Pro (2nd team), AP All-Pro (2nd team) and Pro Magazine All-AFC East.

John worked hard during the offseason in getting ready for the '85 season. He won game ball at NY Jets (9-30) in playing outstanding game, despite severe pain in his elbow (he had to spend an overnight in hospital because of injury he suffered vs. Seattle on 9-16). John started all but one game over the season, with that being the first start he has missed as a pro. He was selected to the Pro-Bowl in 1984, but could not take part in the game because of post-season shoulder surgery

John has been a mainstay in the Patriots' offensive attack since his rookie season in 1973 and has been an inspirational leader along the Patriots' forward wall that has led the way to the Patriots being the top rushing team in the NFL for the 1982 & 1983 seasons (3,952 yards). He missed his first start in six seasons when he suffered a practice session knee injury and did not play against Houston (11-29-82). That missed start snapped a 78 consecutive game starting streak that dated back to 1977

He was the 1981 recipient of the Jim Lee Hunt Memorial Award that cites the most outstanding lineman on the Patriots and was voted the Seagram's Seven Crowns of Sports Offensive Lineman of the Year Award in both 1978 and 1980. The winner of the NFLPA - Coca Cola Offensive Lineman of the Year Award (selected by a vote of NFL players) for four straight years (1978-81). Along with center Bill Lenkaitis, John was one of only two Patriot offensive linemen to play in all 16 games of the 1979 campaign. Former Patriot Offensive Coordinator Jim Ringo, a great NFL lineman himself at Green Bay and Philadelphia, says that "John has better pulling speed than Jerry Kramer and Fuzzy Thurston, although he's twenty pounds heavier than both".

During the 1978 season, he was a mainstay in the Patriots' offensive line that helped pave the way for the Patriots' record setting pace of 3,165 rushing yards, an NFL single season club record. During his rookie year of 1973, John stepped in to start the first 13 games, but a freak leg injury in practice forced him to miss the final game. Since then he has started all but one game of his NFL career except the first three of 1977 when he was involved in a contactispute Aan exceptional run blocker, Hog also excels at pass blocking despite having played in the Wishbone offense of Bear Bryant's Crimson Tide. He made his first Pro Bowl appearance following the 1976 season and as a rookie, was named to a host of all-Rookie squads and was named the Cardinal Cushing Award winner as the Patriots' Offensive MVP. John was the first of three Patriot first round draft coices and the fourth player selected overall in 1973.
