CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Originally saw limited action at QB for William & Mary in ’88.
  • Worked way up depth chart to starter in ’90.
  • Posted 3415 yards and 22 TDs on 245 of 414 throws that year.

NOTES:

I really liked the Star Pics set at the time. (It was battling Classic for the college draft card market at the turn of the 90s.) As it was quite a niche market, unfortunately Star Pics was one of the first inglorious victims of the card market implosion by 93. As I casually collect the set, it’s more for the design and photos than player notoriety.
