Episode Details

Mosi Tatupu, a beloved Patriots fullback from 1978 to 1990, received another nod for the Patriots Hall of Fame in 2026. Despite not advancing in the first round, his son Lofa remains hopeful. Tatupu, known for his special teams prowess and fan appeal, played on teams that experienced both Super Bowl runs and rough patches. The Hall of Fame allows only one player per year, with heavy hitters like Gronkowski, Mankins, and Vinatieri on this years ballot. Tatupu, who rushed for 2,415 yards and 18 touchdowns in 1986, earned a Pro Bowl spot and inspired fans to form Mosis Mooses. After retirement, he coached at his sons high school. Although his induction may take time, Tatupus impact on the Patriots and those who knew him remains strong.
