I love when stars end up on your team(s) for a cup of coffee which most people don't remember
Another one that comes to mind
HOF'er Richard Dent of the famed feared Chicago Bears 46 D ('85 Bears Super Bowl Team) was also on the Eagles

Ahem....
** Cough Cough **
There are certain players that have cups of coffee with my favorite teams that I end up forgetting played for them a few years down the road. I just randomly looked up the 2011 Steelers. I have no memory of Arnez Battle being a Steeler - - and he was for two years! Now he had three targets and zero catches in those two years, so by that time he was strictly a special teams player, but I watch every Steelers game, and it escaped me that he was there. For the Padres, you can play a game of "was he a Padre or not?" Because the most random players ended up playing with the Padres for a season or so. Randomly looked up the 2009 Padres: David Eckstein, Henry Blanco, Cliff Floyd, and Jody Gerut all played for them that year. Greg Maddux is celebrating his 55th birthday today - - he was a Padre for two seasons. I give you props for remembering that Lofton was an Eagle! The following were Eagles in 1994: William “Refrigerator” Perry Bill Romanowski Mark Bavaro Bubby Brister Herschel Walker

Come to think of it -
We had a couple of other legends from that '85 Bears team (as well as Buddy of course)
Eagles Legends - The Fridge and Jim McMahon

Wow - - I have no recollection of the Fridge or Bavaro as Eagles. I remembered Fridge but the part of my brain that stored Mark Bavaro info is dead and gone. I assume '94 is a Buddy Ryan coached Eagles team? So Fridge's career was at least 10 years in length - - not bad. If you would have told me he was alive or dead in 2021, I think I could have been convinced of either. Not surprising that he's had some hard times: medium.com/@pguru12/william-perry-and-the-cautionary-tale-of-life-after-football-953378ed5449

Ryan coached the Eagles 1986-1990. 1994 was the last year of the Kotite dynasty.
