Some great looking cards here of Laurent. I mean I guess he’s best remembered for his brief time in Dallas. One wonders how it would’ve turned out if he stayed put with the Cowboys.

NOTES:

Dustin didn’t really any playing time besides some relief duty in the Commanders’ romp over the Hotshots in Arizona, but as he was the team’s #1 pick, he got all the accoutrements afforded to him such as a trading card and a jersey. -The jersey was probably a life lesson to a lot of people. Before the team even hit the field, there were people buying them anticipating the Vaughan era to begin in SA, but the team and league were very quiet about the starting lineup. It wasn’t until actual game day that it was revealed that Woodside was the starter. I just remember how surreal it was walking around the outside of the stadium and people were buying and wearing these hundred dollar jerseys of a guy who didn’t even start a game.
