#2002 #CamCleeland #TE #85 From Greg Bishop in #SportsIllustrated in 2014: "To former #NFL tight end Cam #Cleeland, who played for the #Patriots in 2002, #TomBrady was a glimpse of greatness. Cleeland still remembers the touchdown pass he caught from Brady. How could he forget? It was a Monday night game, at the Meadowlands, against the Jets. It was pouring rain as Brady dialed up “Fake 16 All Cross,” calling for Cleeland to run across the field toward the back corner of the end zone. He ran the route, and Brady delivered a touchdown strike. Somehow Cleeland’s spike made it onto one of his trading cards, and he kept whole packs of them to remind himself of the touchdown he caught from Brady, one of 13 over his career. “His leadership,” Cleeland says, “is something that needs to be studied.” This testimony did not make Cleeland's Wikipedia page, however. The following passage is the only note on his career to grace the open-source encyclopedia: "While a rookie with the Saints, he was struck in the eye with a sock filled with coins, permanently affecting his vision." History is a cruel mistress. #Reebok #GameWorn #GameUsed #TeamIssued #Pats #GoPats #NewEngland #NewEnglandPatriots #PatriotsNation #PatriotsJerseyArchive
