A special shout out to Mark- from Mark’s Signing Bonus for helping me out here. Mark and I are apparently now in the AAF market, trying to get these guys on their base cards. He struck first, and second, and passed Sam’s address along to me. I wrote him the next night, and Mobley responded to me in just a few days becoming the first TTM AAF signing that I have completed.
Sam played college ball at Catawba from 2016 through 2018. For the Indians, he posted 654 yards receiving on 31 receptions with 4 of them going for TDs in 11 contests during 2016/17. In 17/18 Sam broke the 1K barrier with 1046 yards receiving on 56 receptions, with 8 TDs.
Sam saw the majority of his playing time for the Stallions at punt returner, where he had 11 touches for 97 yards, 3 fair catches, and a long of 30. In the final contest against San Diego during week 8, Sam caught his first and only pass in the AAF going for 9 yards.
After the league imploded, Sam went to mini-camp with the Denver Broncos in 2019 and is currently a member of the XFL 2020 Draft Pool scheduled for October.
Owen has some fine cards, and for the cheap price that I got this certified for, I just couldn’t resist. Owen Daniels was a really good TE for the Houston Texans and he always left it all out on the field. Unfortunately injury played a bit of an issue in his playing time there and in 2013 Owen’s season ended during game 5. I felt he had a lot left in the tank but the Texans felt otherwise and let him walk in free agency after 2013.
Daniels signed with the Ravens in 2014 rejoining former head coach Gary Kubiak who was now the OC with the team. He put up his usual solid numbers posting 527 yards on 48 catches with 4 TDs for Baltimore. Owen then jumped ship for Denver in 2015, again rejoining now head coach Gary Kubiak there. In his swan song, Daniels posted 46 receptions for 517 yards and 3 TDs while helping the Broncos win Super Bowl 50.
Keishawn Bierria has gotten a lot of experience playing for the Washington Huskies, playing since he was a true freshman (2014). A smart, aggressive linebacker who seems to have a nose for the ball, Bierria finished his college career with 240 total tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, 4 pass deflections and 4 forced fumbles. It could be argued that his best year came in 2015 when he had the line of 77 total tackles,7.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, and 1 forced fumble. Scouts were sort of torn on Bierria. He had the resume for the position, but they just didn’t feel like he was fast enough or big enough for the rigors of the NFL.
Keishawn lasted until the 6th round of the 2018 draft, where he was selected by the Denver Broncos. He made the roster and saw action in a few games notching 5 total tackles.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
