Joe Horn played WR at tiny Itwamba Community College in Mississippi.
He caught 54 passes for 878 yards and 7 TDs and moonlighted as a PR.
Did not play football for two years after leaving college.
Eventually he caught the attention of the CFL in 1994 during their CFLUSA Invasion.
He’d be initially signed by the Baltimore Stallions and then the Shreveport Pirates, before landing on the roster of the Memphis Mad Dogs in 1995.
Horn had an outstanding season in the CFL catching 71 passes for 1415 yards.
The Chiefs drafted Horn in the 5th round of the 1996 NFL Draft.
He’d toil away for the next 4 seasons with the Chiefs only starting 2 contests.
Signed with the Saints in 2000 where he’d establish himself as a true receiving threat.
Horn caught 94 passes for 1340 yards and 8 TDs that season.
He followed up his first thousand yard season with 1265, 1312, and 973 over the next 3 seasons.
In 2004, Joe had 94 catches for a career high 1399 yards and 11 TDs.
As injuries began to take their toll on Horn, his numbers decreased to a point the Saints asked him to take a pay cut.
Released after the 2006 season, Horn finished second in receiving yards and receptions, while setting the franchise mark for receiving TDs with 50 in 7 seasons.
Played one final cash grab season with the Falcons in 2007 catching 27 passes for 243 yards and a TD to close out his career.
Sells his own BBQ sauce called Bayou 87.
Also coaches WR at Northeast Community College.
ACCOLADES:
Saints Hall of Fame 2020
Pro Bowl 2000-’02, ’04
NOTES:
I had wanted Horn for a while and being that he doesn’t sign TTM when he came cheap, I didn’t hesitate at participating in this signing which also included Rickey Jackson.
Horn is most notoriously known for pulling out a cell phone from underneath a goalpost after scoring a TD during a 2003 Monday Night Football Game.

Alvin was a top flight safety that the Redskins sniped in the 3rd round of the 86 draft.

NOTES:
Alvin had some great cards during his time in the NFL. I mean on top of this he still had a great Pro Set ’89 and some other set needs. I had been looking for him for a bit, and was happy to get these back in no time flat.
