He picked off 2 passes- returning one for 17 yards.
Following the World League’s reorganization, Richard decided to play for the Arena Football League.
With the Rockers, he played two seasons, with 1993 being his best season as a pro totaling 60.5 total tackles, 19 pass breakups, a fumble recovery, and a pick.
He’d also catch 8 passes for 77 yards and a TD- as back then Arena players went both ways.
It’s unknown what Carey was doing from 1994-’95, but he appeared again one last time on the radar of the Tampa Bay Storm in 1996.
He’d drop 33 tackles, and 7 pass breakups to close out his career.
NOTES:
Another deep cut here that got lost in the shuffle of the 2020 COVID push, Richard signed this card in the midst of the pandemic for me. It’s really true what they say- As you get older time tends to move faster- fly by, and unfortunately, I’ve forgotten the background behind how I got this autograph.
Tre Walker played WR at San Jose St from 2017-2020.
His breakout year came as Junior when he had 79 receptions for 1161 yards and 2 TDs.
Finished college career with 189 receptions for 2790 yards and 12 TDs.
Signed as an UDFA by the Buffalo Bills following the 2021 Draft, but did not make the squad.
In 2022, was selected in the 12th round of the USFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Maulers.
Despite the team’s offensive struggles, Tre recorded 33 receptions for 362 yards and a touchdown.
Had 359 all purpose yards (200 receiving, 17 rushing, and 142 in kick returns) in the 2023 season, despite missing a portion of the season due to injury.
Although resigned by the Maulers for 2024, the USFL merged with the XFL and Pittsburgh was not retained.
NOTES:
A nice start to my USFL card set, Tre sent me a nice note and wrote on my card ‘much love’. He still has gas in the tank and I hope he latches on with a new team soon.
My friend Mark (Mark’s Signing Bonus), sent me a box of the USFL to get me started, so I figured why not and dove right in to getting them autographed. While the set is pretty small, there are still some active players in the league who are now in the UFL.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
