Jordan, Jawhar

CARD: Topps Signature Series 2024
ACQUIRED: eBay, 2025

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Jawhar Jordan played RB at Syracuse from 2019 to ’20, and Louisville from 2021- ’23.
  • In his 5th year senior season for the Cardinals, Jawhar posted 181 carries for 1128 yards and 13 TDs, and caught 21 passes for 246 yards and a TD.
  • 6th Round Draft pick of the Houston Texans in 2024.
  • Spent 2024 and ’25 on and off the team’s practice squad until he made his professional debut in mid December.
  • Ran for 101 yards on 17 carries against the Cardinals, including a 50 yard carry.
  • Finished regular season with 43 carries for 193 yards and 7 receptions for 34 yards.
  • After the season, the Texans reshuffled their backfield again, with Joe Mixon and Nick Chubb retiring, Jawhar remains in the mix as a rotational piece of the Texans offense heading into the preseason.

NOTES:

Not gonna lie here. I watched this guy against the Cards, and I was impressed by his vision and burst. Really nice second gear. I think he’s mainly a speed merchant that could be a receiving threat on screens. I immediately plucked his 2024 Topps Signature Class card off of eBay for a buck or two.

McKyer, Tim ‘Frequent Flyer McKyer’

CARD: Action Packed Rookies 1991
ACQUIRED: eBay, 2025

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Tim McKyer played CB at University of Texas at Arlington where he’d be made into a 3rd round choice of the San Fransisco 49ers in 1986.
  • Had a spectacular debut notching 45 total tackles, 23 pass deflections and 6 interceptions for 33 yards and a TD.
  • Although McKyer displayed great speed and leaping ability he was frequently targeted in 1987.
  • He had a very impressive ’88 campaign recording 7 interceptions, 19 pass deflections, and 39 tackles.
  • After the ’89 season, McKyer was traded to the Miami Dolphins.
  • He’d post 4 picks and 44 total tackles in his lone season there.
  • Then for McKyer he’d be off to Atlanta in another trade in 1991.
  • Quickly was paired with Deion Sanders and they formed a nasty CB duo, as Tim notched 6 picks in Atlanta in ’91.
  • 1993 began truly Tim’s mercenary phase.
  • He’d spend one year each with Detroit (’93), Pittsburgh (’94), Carolina (’95), Atlanta (again ’96), and Denver (’97), primarily as a situational starter.
  • In possibly the highlight of his career while playing for Carolina in 1995, Tim posted a 96 yard interception against the ‘9ers, keying the Panthers 13-7 win.
  • In 170 total contests, Tim finished with 33 interceptions for 235 yards and 2 TDs.

ACCOLADES:

  • All Rookie Team 1986

NOTES:

Tim is a non-signer TTM so it’s been hard to nab him on the two Action Packed Rookies sets he appears in. I saw this for a pretty reasonable price and just had to take a chance at this price.

Tim’s passionate about his children- and after a divorce from his wife became extremely active in the little discussed issue of Men’s Parental Rights.

Gwyn, JoVaughn

CARD: Sage 2023
ACQUIRED: Private Break, 2023

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • After a redshirt injury season robbed JoVaughn Gwyn of nearly his entire 2018 campaign, he started 11 of 12 contests the following year.
  • Started 10 games in 2020, and 13 at RG in 2021.
  • An aggressive run blocker, Gwyn was considered a bit undersized even at 6’2″, 310.
  • He was selected in the 7th round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons.
  • The Falcons then converted him to center.
  • He’s been on and off the regular and practice squad rosters since that time.
