This roster is based off the guys drafted in the 8th round or later. You’ll notice this roster is a bit more old school, because in 1994, the NFL cut the draft down to seven rounds.
The offense is loaded with Hall of Famers. They would run a single back, 3 wide base offense. Kelly would be the primary back, Brown the third-down back, and Byner taking the short yardage and goal line carries. The receivers would line up Maynard at the Z, Powell at the X, and Jackson in the Slot.
The defense would run out of a base 4-3 under look. The line would lineup with Dent at the under, SDE, Krumrie at the 1, Greenwood at the 3, and Jones at the WDE. Armstead would play the at-the-line SAM, Mechlenberg at the Mike, and Joyner at the Will. Houston would take the SS and play down in the box, with Fencik at the FS.
Sikahema would take both the return duties. Don Shula would take the reins as head coach, as he was a 9th round pick by the Browns in 1951.
I call this team the Bismarck Ghosts.
