Feeney, Travis

Cards: Topps AAF 2019, Topps AAF Certified 2019
Acquired: TTM 2019, C/o Home

Travis Feeney played college ball at Washington. He saw action in 51 games for the Huskies over 4 years at linebacker. His best year arguably came in 2015, when he notched 56 total tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, 8 sacks, 2 pass deflections, and 1 fumble recovery. Sometimes deployed in coverage, Feeney recorded 11 career pass deflections, and 4 interceptions for 148 yards and a TD.

He was a 6th round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and spent most of the season on their practice squad, before ending the year on the roster of the New Orleans Saints. Cut in mid 2017, Feeney kept in playing shape, and signed with the San Diego Fleet in 2018. He had a solid year during the AAF‘s short 8 game season, posting 28 tackles, and a pick.

Travis spent the next year in the CFL, first briefly with the Alouettes, and then the Argonauts- but with COVID striking down the CFL, Feeney opted out of his contract and decided to give The Spring League a shot, playing for the Jousters.

Coffee, Glen

Card: Donruss Rookies & Stars 2009 Dress for Success
Acquired: 2020, COMC

A beautiful card for a marginally over-designed set, I really appreciated the style during this period. I love how this design is set up with the smoke/paint on the right edge of the canvas. The patch is boxed in nicely by the main figure and the smoke, with the grid broken down into what feels like a 3 columns.

Glen Coffee played collegially for the University of Alabama from 2005 to 2008. 2008 was a monster year for him, when he rushed for 1,383 yards on 233 carries and 10 TDs. He declared at the end of his Junior season and entered the 2009 NFL Draft.

Glen was selected in the 3rd round of the draft by the San Fransisco 49ers. He’d back up durable Frank Gore at runningback his rookie year rushing for 226 yards on 83 carries, scoring a TD. In 2010, Glen abruptly retired- citing his heart wasn’t in the game.

He joined the military in 2013, and after concluding his service as a paratrooper, attempted a comeback with the Spring League in 2017.

Blackmon, Devon

Card: Sage 2016
Acquired: 2017, Box Breaker

Devon Blackmon was a two year starter for BYU in 2014 and 2015 after transferring from Oregon to Riverside CC. He recorded 56 receptions for 799 yards, and showed some promise on return duties for the Cougars. Devon was not selected in the 2016 NFL Draft but did get some nibbles for tryouts. Later he played one season for the SoCal Coyotes in 2017 and also the Spring League in both 2017 and 2018. 
I tried to get his autograph at the Spring League event in Austin (2018), but it was bitterly cold at the event, so like most fans I left.
