The Long Journey

Pats DE Chris Long was the second overall pick in the 2008 draft when he was selected by the St Louis Rams. He spent his entire career with them before signing with the Pats prior to the 2016 season.

Although he has made a great deal of money, he was never a part of a winning team. This will be his first time in the playoffs.

The league is filled with players who have never seen the post-season. Jets WR Brandon Marshall just passed 12,000 receiving yards, but has never made a trip in 12 years. His time is running out real fast.
