Hunter, Kendall

Upper Deck College Legends 2011, #87

CARD: Upper Deck College Legends 2011
ACQUIRED: EBay, 2020

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Kendall Hunter played college ball for the OSU Cowboys from 2007-10.
  • In both 2008 and 2010 he rushed for over 1,500 yards, and had over 20 catches.
  • He was named as a finalist for the Doak Walker Award in his senior season, and finished his career with 4,181 yards and 37 TDs on 708 carries.
  • Due primarily to his size, 5’7″, 199, Hunter wouldn’t be selected until the 3rd round of the 2011 draft by the San Fransisco 49ers.
  • During his time in the league from 2011-2015, Hunter saw action in 45 contests, starting 1 in his rookie year.
  • He had a career high 473 yards on 112 carries and 16 catches for 195 yards.
  • Used primarily as a 3rd down or as a change of pace back, Kendall ran for 1202 yards on 262 carries for the 9ers.
  • Was released after the 2014 season, when he spent the entire year on IR due to a knee injury.
  • Signed with the Saints in 2015, late in the year to spell injured Mark Ingram.
  • Briefly joined the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL in 2017, but retired soon thereafter.

NOTES:

Who knows how Kendall would’ve performed if he was shoved into a role with a team that used him as a primary back in a run n shoot or spread set up? He definitely had a set of wheels on him, and some great college number to prove it.

Upper Deck College Legends 2011 Decade’s Best 2000s, #DBJW

CARD: Upper Deck College Legends 2011
ACQUIRED: TTM 2022, C/o Work
SENT: 5/18 RECEIVED: 7/16 (58 days)

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

I had forgotten that I had pulled Jason’s certified base card autograph from this set, so when I sent this one I also sent the other card by mistake. He signed both of them, so I gave the additional autograph to my friend Lance. I like these Decades Best cards. The canvas is super clean and welcoming of an autograph. It pops very nicely.

Young, Titus

Upper Deck College Legends 2011, #93

CARD: Upper Deck College Legends 2011
ACQUIRED: 2019, Box Breaker

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Played WR for Boise State from 2007-10.
  • Caught 204 passes for 3063 yards and 25 TDs over college career.
  • Displayed some behavioral issues that caused his draft stock to drop.
  • Selected by the Detroit Lions during the 2nd round of the 2011 draft.
  • By mid-season behavior issues re-emerged, and continued through the 2012 campaign, where he’d be deactivated by the team.
  • After numerous fights, bad behavior, arguments, and social media outbursts increased, Titus was outright released by the Lions before the 2013 season.
  • Claimed by the St. Louis Rams, but was quickly cut after questionable behavior reemerged.
  • Titus’ behavior since 2013 has borderlined from the bizarre to flat out disturbing.
  • Sadly, since then he’s been imprisoned and spent time in inpatient rehabilitation.
  • He was released from prison in 2018.

NOTES:

Titus is the poster child for bipolar disorder. On top of things it’s entirely possible he also has CTE due to numerous concussions. Mental health- especially for men, has such a terrible stigma. I hope that since Titus hasn’t been in the news since his release from prison, that he’s getting the help he needs.
