I wonder how many people here remember Mandich as a player. Mister clutch. I wonder how many third down conversions he is responsible for. He could just get open and make the catch.
He was one of my favorite players.
My son played tight end. I use to tell him, "a TE has one real responsiblity, MOVE THE CHAINS". Mandich did that time and time again.

You know I remember him as a player Leon.
Mandich was definitely a clutch player. His TD against the Vikings to preserve the 1972 season--it doesn't get more clutch than that.
After his playing days were over Mandich never stopped working hard, whether it be on he construction site or in the broadcast booth. I'm praying for his speedy recovery so that he'll be back in the booth again this fall.
