The First All-Madden Team - 1984

THINGS WE MISS
By John Turney

In 1984, Madden took the advice of lifelong friend and Rams coach John Robinson and created the "All-Madden" team. It purported to be players that Madden thought best represented pro football and played the game the way he thought it should be played.
