Gronk was the obvious pick at the time. F’ing buddy nix man.
my favorite story about McCarty is one told to me by my close friend and fellow bills fan. He was at the Buffalo Niagara casino back when mccargo was still on the team. He was in line behind this huge guy and my friend says “dude you are huge. You should play for the bills”. The guy turns around and responds “me? Nah man I couldn’t play for the bills. “. My friend says “ wait I recognize you, you’re John McCargo!!” Big guy responds “yea that’s me”.
moral of my story - even John mccargo knew he wasn’t good enough to play for the Bills.
