CAREER SNAPSHOT:
- Gary Plummer played junior college ball before transferring over to Cal where he played NT.
- After going undrafted in 1983, played for the Oakland Invaders of the USFL.
- The Invaders decided Plummer’s best fit would be at LB- a position he’d play for the remainder of his pro career.
- Gary played in 53 USFL contests over his career, lodging 2 sacks, and 6 picks.
- Still, Gary was not selected during the 1984 USFL Supplemental Player Draft, so he’d be a free agent after the league folded following the ’85 season.
- Signed by the San Diego Chargers, Gary quickly became a starter for the team, as he had strong versatility at the position.
- Over his career in the league, Gary started nearly every LB position in 3-4 or 4-3 alignments.
- He played the next 8 seasons there in SD, racking up 792 tackles.
- At the grand old age of 35, he signed with the 49ers in 1995.
- After winning a Super Bowl against his former team, Plummer went on to play for the ‘9ers through the 1997 season.
NOTES:
A member of Tecmo Super Bowl, with some great cards, I thought it was fine time to add Gary to my collection. He has a very nice autograph. I really like the unique curvature of his signature, especially the ‘G’. I appreciate him taking the time to sign my cards, with apparently a pretty fresh sharpie.
