Once again Head coach Peter Vaas had created a very strong Berlin Thunder during season 2002 and they were able World Bowl against the Rhein Fire on their own turf.
Tim Hasselbeck, Cleo Lemon and Todd Husak were his 3 outstanding quarterbacks, which were way ahead of their competitors.
Dane Looker had the most receptions around the NFL Europe and Todd Husak was the best passer, who was well protected by the Denver Broncos top guard Ben Hamilton.
Adams | Alford | Branch | Bryant | Chambers | Christian | Duff | Hamilton | Hasselbeck | Heckenbach | Husak | Jackson | Kruse | Kuci | Looker | Lemon | Missouri | Moore | Pfeiffenberger | Pinkney | Sands | Stukes | Warner | White
One of the biggest winners was Terdell Sands from the Oakland Raiders.
Quarterback Cleo Lemon was standing in the shadow of Todd Husak, but his great time did come at the Miami Dolphins, when he was on 13 games while starting in 8 and scoring 1,773 yards in 2007.
6 NFL seasons and 8 TDs made im one of the most successful Thunder playeers of all times and the Jaguars and Chargers had been hus other NFL teams.
