RB Aaron Stecker started his college career at Wisconsin in ’95.
After Ron Dayne sucked all the wind out of the RB room- Stecker transferred to Western Illinois in ’97.
Stecker ran wild at Western Illinois Stecker finishing as the school’s all-time leading rusher with 3,799 yards (since surpassed).
Going undrafted in ’99 he’d be cut in camp with the Bears.
Stecker was signed in 2000 by the Bucs and allocated to NFLE.
He’d go on to have over 1,000 yards from scrimmage and 11 TDs playing for the Scottish Claymores.
The Bucs liked what they saw so much, Stecker made the team’s roster and contributed on special teams and as a 3rd down back.
In 2004, Stecker signed with New Orleans’ crowded backfield, playing 3 seasons and starting 7 contests.
After his stint concluded with the Saints, Aaron played for the Falcons in 2009.

CAREER SNAPSHOT:
Louie Aguiar played college ball at Utah State and went undrafted in 1989.
Aguiar tried out for the Bills in subsequent seasons, but eventually was cut.
He’d make a positive impression on the Bills coaching staff, so they recommended Louie to Jack Bicknell , head coach of the Barcelona Dragons in the World League .
Louie played the ’91 season in Barcelona, making an impression on the New York Jets.
He signed with NY shortly after World Bowl I concluded.
Played for the Jets from 1991-’93, averaging 39.6 yards on 210 punts in 49 contests.
Louie joined the Chiefs in 1994- where he’d play through the ’98 season.
He’d conclude his career after one year stints for the Packers (’99) and Bears (’00).
ACCOLADES:
Pro Set 1992, #272 Topps Stadium Club 1992, #161
NOTES:
A sneaky success story of the World League, Aguiar went on to play in the NFL for 10 seasons. I was surprised he didn’t have a card in the league, but that’s why this helmet card was perfect for him to sign.
