Listen Later

Former Patriots tight end Russ Francis is our guest on this edition of Pats from the Past. Highlights from our conversation include: How a kid from Hawaii with just one year playing major college football, became the 16th overall selection, and his difficulties conforming to life in the NFL. Francis entertains with often colorful stories from his 13 year career. Dubbed by some as “Gronk before Gronk,” Francis also shares his thoughts on the future Pro Football Hall of Fame TE who also played with New England. Plus, who did he receive career advice from upon his sudden retirement in 1981 and which legend did he work with off the field?
