1991 Pro Line Portraits Set (Football)
"The biggest change from college to the pros probably will be taking the game as more of a job - spending more hours watching film, without studying for classes, and more time studying football and studying my opponents. Being drafted in the first round is a dream come true, and being drafted by the Bills is an even bigger honor: The great athletes that the Bills have and the great support that the fans give them is going to be a great opportunity for me."
An outstanding tackle in his first year of professional football in 1951, Mike joined the Browns for the first time last season after two years of Army duty.

Means led the ACC in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in 1991 and in total touchdowns in 1992.
2020 Panini Legacy Set (Football)
The Saints passing attack is so sharp that it can cut up any secondary. Well, almost any secondary. Bouye did a first-rate job of keeping New Orleans' aerial game in check in Week 6 during 2019. The cornerback allowed only two receptions for 12 yards. It was a reminder of his status as an elite defender.
Walter became NFL's all-time leading rusher in 1984. He surpassed the former record of 12,312 yards set by Hall-of-Famer Jim Brown from 1957 through 1965. Walter threw TD Pass in Playoffs, December 30, 1984.

Who scored the most points in one game?
Baltimore wanted to add a quick-footed ball-carrier to complement superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson. It found Ingram, an uber-agile tailback who breaks down opponents with a shifty set of moves. In 2019, he topped 1,000 rushing yards for the third time in his career.
2006 Topps Heritage Set (Football)
Adams, undrafted in 2002, spent his first three NFL seasons developing his skills as a practice squader and very occasional special teams operative. His natural talent as a receiver began to surface in '05, as he hauled in his first 21 NFL passes while returning some kicks and punts. His explosiveness earned him five rushes on trick plays.
He played in the shadow of Brian Griese at Michigan and appeared destined for a similar role behind Drew Bledsoe in New England, as Tom arrived at the 2001 training camp as the third QB on the depth chart. Yet by the time the season ended, he was one of the top passers in the NFL. Taking over for an injured Bledsoe early in the year, Brady's quick feet and accurate arm led the Pats to Super Bowl XXXVI. He then was named the game's Most Valuable Player after leading his charges to a game-winning drive (with no time-outs) in the final minute.
Julius, a two-sport star in high school and college, has given up basketball to concentrate on football with the Panthers. The results were impressive, as he earned 2002 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors despite missing four games. "I think after one year he is the best I have seen," said Jack Del Rio, Panthers defensive coordinator last year about the lifelong North Carolinian. "He came in and had as big an impact in all aspects of the game in one year - he was a dominant force."
Warner loved playing for coach Chuck Knox. "Chuck's offense gave me freedom," he told the Spokesman-Review. "There's textbook plays and then there's football plays... never exact. Sometimes my best runs were for 2-3 yards, sometimes you make a couple guys miss in the backfield just to get back to the line."
2022 Panini Legacy Set (Football)
The Cowboys decimated Indianapolis in Week 16 of 2014, picking up a 42-7 victory. Romo was nearly perfect in the rout, completing 18-of-20 attempts for 218 yards and four touchdowns. With his team up so comfortably, the signal-caller watched the fourth quarter from the sideline.
Hewritt is a quick starting powerful runner. His intensive desire to excel makes him one of the hardest workers in the league. Hewritt is also an excellent pass receiver.

Hewritt earned a physical education degree at A & M.

How many time-outs are allowed each team in a game?
One of the finest players to be produced from out of the 1964 crop of collegians, Gerry is rarin' to show the pros what he can do. Extremely fast, Gerry will be used as a kick-off and punt return specialist as well as a defensive back. Last year the big man from Jacksonville, Florida was named to Time Magazine's All-Defensive Team. Watch for the name of Gerry Bussell to make all kinds of gridiron headlines this season.
Gerry runs the 100 yard dash in 09.7 seconds.

Rosey was a college heavyweight wrestler. He's great at downfield blocking.
John joined the Broncos in 1963. Given a chance to play, he defeated Boston 14-10. The following week he led Denver to a 50-34 romp over San Diego.

Quarterbacks tend to get the glory, but Deion would have been a justifiable choice as Super Bowl XXXVIII MVP. He was on the receiving end of 10 passes from actual MVP Tom Brady, including a 17-yarder that was the final play before the game-winning field goal. Brown, in only his second season, also was the Patriots' leading receiver in the regular season, ending a three-year run by Troy Brown.
