Did you guys know that the Fullback position was added to the Pro Bowl roster after the 1993 season? Daryl Johnston for the NFC along with Keith Byars for the AFC were the first two Fullbacks to make the trip to Hawaii. During his 2nd Pro Bowl appearance ,the next season, ‘Moose’ was actually forced to wear a Green Bay Packers helmet because his Cowboys helmet was stolen before the game. Happy Birthday Moose!

For today’s Throwback Thursday we’re going back to Week 1 of the 1994 NFL Season. During a Cleveland Browns & Cincinnati Bengals battle, our dude Tommy Tupa grabs the distinction of being the first player in NFL History to score a 2 point conversion. The 2 point rule had just been adopted that season, and Tom & The Browns took advantage of it. He would run in three extra point attempts for Two that year earning himself the nickname of ‘Two Point Tupa.’ Happy Birthday Tom!
