NOTES:
Robert has been very active in charitable causes, establishing the Robert Meachem Follow Your Dreams Foundation, and participating in NBCs TV show Minute to Win It.
It strikes me that Robert is always hungry for football. I hope he takes his experiences and uses them towards coaching. He has some great cards. I sent him this great Score 2010 card, but blew it with the Prestige- forgetting I had a Pacific 2009 sitting in the workroom.
Robb Riddick played RB/DB at Millersville State setting numerous football and track records at the school.
Selected in the 9th round of the 1981 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills.
Although seldom seeing the field, whether buried on the depth chart or injured early in his career, the Bills patience eventually paid off.
Sat out both the 1982 and 1985 campaigns with a knee injury.
Saw extensive action in 1986, rushing for a career high 632 yards and 4 TDs while catching 49 passes for 468 yards.
Was off to fast start in 1988 with 8 TDs in 8 contests- but broke collarbone, ending season.
He transitioned fully into a short yardage back by ’88- scoring 12 TDs rushing and 1 receiving- the most since OJ Simpson in 1975.
A knee injury during the preseason in 1989 ended his career.
ACCOLADES:
Millersview College Wall of Honor 2021
NOTES:
A great photo here of Robb showcasing his leaping ability that earned him that goal line job later in his career. The card does him justice as most of the remaining 10 cards in his collection are Topps sideline or warmup shots.

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

He led the team that year with 36 catches for 376 yards and 6 TDs during a strike shortened season.

Played for the Eagles in 1992, and then Phoenix in 1993.
Retired, Pat lives in Washington and is an avid diver.
NOTES:
Pat Beach. One of the OG from Tecmo Bowl on the NES who played for the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts back then didn’t have much. Dickerson (Bentley) was the bread and butter on the run plays. Trudeau didn’t get any love- and when Brooks was being covered.. Beach was THE MAN. I loved throwing it to Pat near the endzone and just saying, “BEEAACCCHHH,” As I threw a TD to the underutilized TE. It was good times.
Over the years, Pat became a lunch pail TE that I was really interested in, but unlike Cap Boso, Beach actually had some great cards. I had tried Pat in the past but didn’t have any luck. He had a really narrow and random response window for many years. It took me three tries but I was very excited to finally nab him.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
