Tim McKyer played CB at University of Texas at Arlington where he’d be made into a 3rd round choice of the San Fransisco 49ers in 1986.
Had a spectacular debut notching 45 total tackles, 23 pass deflections and 6 interceptions for 33 yards and a TD.
Although McKyer displayed great speed and leaping ability he was frequently targeted in 1987.
He had a very impressive ’88 campaign recording 7 interceptions, 19 pass deflections, and 39 tackles.
After the ’89 season, McKyer was traded to the Miami Dolphins.
He’d post 4 picks and 44 total tackles in his lone season there.
Then for McKyer he’d be off to Atlanta in another trade in 1991.
Quickly was paired with Deion Sanders and they formed a nasty CB duo, as Tim notched 6 picks in Atlanta in ’91.
1993 began truly Tim’s mercenary phase.
He’d spend one year each with Detroit (’93), Pittsburgh (’94), Carolina (’95), Atlanta (again ’96), and Denver (’97), primarily as a situational starter.
In possibly the highlight of his career while playing for Carolina in 1995, Tim posted a 96 yard interception against the ‘9ers, keying the Panthers 13-7 win.
In 170 total contests, Tim finished with 33 interceptions for 235 yards and 2 TDs.
ACCOLADES:
All Rookie Team 1986
NOTES:
Tim is a non-signer TTM so it’s been hard to nab him on the two Action Packed Rookies sets he appears in. I saw this for a pretty reasonable price and just had to take a chance at this price.
Tim’s passionate about his children- and after a divorce from his wife became extremely active in the little discussed issue of Men’s Parental Rights.
