After pulling this Bowl Game Heroes card back in 2019, I knew I had to add another Danny Wuerffel or two to my collection, so I reloaded and included the chrome Topps 2000.
Notched 160 total tackles, 6 interceptions, 66 yards, and a TD.
With good size (6’0″) and speed (4.4 40), was selected in near the top of the 3rd round by the New York Jets during the 1990 draft.

Signed with Colts in 1992, starting 3 contests, intercepting 2 passes along 28 tackles.
Played in 1994 and 95 with Tampa, forcing a career high 4 fumbles in 1995.
Finished career out moonlighting for the Chiefs in 1996, and the Bears in 1997.

NOTES:
Tony Stargell is an absolute no signer via the mail, so after seeing a few autographs pop up on the front of his Action Packed Rookies card, I decided to pick this one up, since the set is such a vital set need now.
Cory Sauter played quarterback from 1994-1997 for the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
Took over starting duties in 1995, throwing for 2600 yards, completing out 60.4% of his passes, and 18 TDs.
4 year totals at the school included 6834 total yards, 40 TDs, and a 57% completion average.
Signed with the Arizona Cardinals in 1998, and then joined the Lions in 1999.
In 2000, Cory played in the NFLE with the Barcelona Dragons.
A traditional drop back passer, he connected on 62.6% of his targets for 6 TDs for the Dragons, but was sacked 18 times on 181 drop backs.
He then spent 2001 to 2003 in between the Colts and Bears, seeing his only statistically captured action in 2002 with the Bears.
Since 2006, Cory has been in the coaching ranks in both college (Minnesota and SW Minnesota State), and in Europa with the Hamburg Sea Devils and Berlin Thunder.

A bit of an underwhelming autograph but I’ll take it!
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
