Big bodied TE (6’6″) who finished 7th on the career all- time reception charts at Penn State with 76 catches.

INSCRIPTION:
Romans 10:9
because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
NOTES:
Since his playing days Kyle dabbled in sports broadcasting for NFLE and later the Big 10 Network, and financial advisor. Brady was notoriously booed by the Jets faithful on Draft Day 1995 who wanted Warren Sapp instead, therefore I have always seen him as more of a Jag than a Jet.

NOTES: Evans came to my attention when he burnt the Houston Texans secondary for two 83 yard touchdowns, and over 200 yards in a contest during 2006. Lee is not a TTM signer and has some beautiful cards, so I had to do a paid signing. I was a big fan of these two sets, so I didn’t hesitate to send them at a very affordable value.
