Card: Score Supplemental 1990
Acquired: In Person 1990, Houston Oilers Training Camp
Terry Kinard was a highly regarded safety coming out of Clemson in 1983. A top 10 selection of the draft, he was immediately inserted into the starting lineup for the New York Giants. A two time first team All American, Kinard has more interceptions (17) in his career than any other player in Clemson history. (He is the only player in the history of the school that was a two time selection.)
A solid defensive back during his time with the Giants, Kinard would have 3 picks his rookie season. In 1985 he’d have a career high 5 interceptions for 100 yards and a fumble recovery. He’d tie these numbers again 2 more times during his career, -in 1987 when he had 5 picks for 163 yards and a td, and in 1989 when he lodged 5 picks for 135 yards and a td as well. Over his time with New York, Kinard would start 99 games and make 27 interceptions and play in one Pro Bowl (1988). In his final season, Terry would sign with the Houston Oilers via Plan B. Kinard in his final season would have 4 interceptions for 75 yards and a fumble recovery for a 75 yard touchdown.
Named to Clemson’s Centennial team in 1996, the #3 player in Clemson’s history, Clemson’s HoF in 1992, and Sports Illustrated’s College Football Centennial Team in 1999. Terry Kinard was also inducted into the College Football HoF in 2001 and the South Carolina HoF in 2002.

From what I understand, Steve Young has been rumored to be an ‘autopenner’. Autopenning is a relatively new and ruthless thing that players can do to fans hoping for an authentic autograph from them. An autopen is a machine that will line up the card and simulate the player’s signature. While I’m not sure what to think of this, many fans decry it because it lessens the interaction between the fan and the player and thus- it is not authentic. I could see how this would anger somebody who had his rookie card and really wanted him to sign it but for these two cards, it wouldn’t really bother me either way.
Steve Young is another player who just got no respect- but in his case, he went out and proved them all wrong. As you can tell from these two cards, Steve Young is doing what he does best- run. After graduating from BYU, Steve Young signed a then record 10 year 40 million dollar contract with the Los Angeles Express of the USFL. He’d lead the team to the playoffs his rookie season but in 1985 the league financially hemorrhaged.
Steve’s rebirth would begin in San Fransisco as future HoFer Joe Montana’s backup. He’d become the league’s best insurance premium, tutored by coaching wiz Bill Walsh and his offensive staff. As Young would bide his time, Montana’s age and frailty would emerge, and at some points a quarterback controversy would emerge. In 1991 after Montana was sidelined for the season, it was largely believed that this was Young’s shot at being the team’s starter, but after injury and relative ineffectiveness- Young would be locked in a quarterback controversy with 
Highly decorated coming out of college at Virginia Tech, Bruce Smith was a shoe in #1 pick being named the Outland Trophy winner in 1984 and a 2 time All American in 1983, and 1984. Drafted by the Buffalo Bills, Bruce quickly established himself as an outside rushing force and within 5 seasons had become the all time sack leader of the franchise. In 1990 he made 19 sacks, and was named NFL defensive MVP. Bruce would lose his 1991 season to a knee injury but would return in full force by 1992. He would transition from a 3-4 to a 4-3 defense successfully under then defensive coordinator Wade Phillips later in 1995, where he again would be named defensive MVP in 1996. He would be allowed to sign via Free Agency in 1999 where he became more of a designated pass rusher, and passed up 
I had heard that Bruce was a great TTM signer, but I couldn’t believe it till I tried it since he was the NFL’s career sack leader. He responded in very little time via the Pro Football HoF (Canton,OH) roughly in 30 days. Always well represented in Tecmo Super Bowls, Bruce when he was in excellent condition would dominate any offensive lineman and on occasion was so fast could cover wide receivers down the field, and 9 times out of 10 his quickness allowed him to be around any play with the computer.
