Yep, just read this today:

 

Jason Hanson  
The NFL's longest-tenured player, Lions kicker Jason Hanson, retired Thursday, April 4, after 21 seasons. Hanson, 42, holds NFL records for games played with one team (327) and 50-yard field goals (52) and is third in league history with 2,150 points and 495 field goals. He's been the Lions' kicker since drafted with a second-round pick in 1992. He preferred to play one more NFL season, but opted to retire after the Lions made him a one-time offer of around $1 million. Hanson made a good showing in 2012, making 32 of 36 kicks. Three of his four misses hit an upright.

Players? No. But Harbaugh is still in the league as a coach! Can't think of anyone else who was a player in TSB3 and now is in the league doing something. I think Favre might be the towel boy for the Vikings.

There are a lot of players from TSB3 that are active in the league as coaches and many others that are active in the media.

 

I'd love to see this thread start to promote those players since none are still playing.

 

I liked that idea so I went ahead and researched current NFL coaching staffs.  Spectre was right - there are a lot.  Green Bay is the big winner with five guys, the NY Jets have four, and a bunch of teams have three.  Interestingly, most of the teams who have no TSB III guys on the coaching staff are doing poorly (Buffalo,  NY Giants, Baltimore, Oakland, Jacksonville) or having other "issues" (Miami). 

 

Perhaps the biggest surprise - Leon Lett has a pro coaching job!  I guess he must have picked up a thing or two in between the two bonehead plays thatare the only things anyone remembers about his career.

 

Here's what I found:

Buffalo - none
