NOTES:
A lot of people are looking out for me, and again a special shout out to my friend CFLfaninPhilly for pointing out this auction on EBay to me. I was able to drop in and snipe it out at the last second at a very cheap price. I searched for a very long time for Demetrius, before learning of his passing only a few days after finding a working address. (It was eye opening to discover how many Demetrius Davis’ exist in this world.) As he is covered in all 3 sets, just finding one autographed was a major coup. The seller of the card indicated that he was old and done with collecting and loved going to training camps, through the mail, and spring training, so I figured this one was a low risk/ high reward situation.
EPITAPH:
Demetrius passed away of a heart attack (enlarged heart) in December of 2012 at the age of 45, following a pickup basketball game. Truck touched a lot of people’s lives with his positivity, humor, and inspiration. CC Sabathia, (Davis’ cousin) a pitcher for the Yankees, renovated a North Vallejo basketball court at 1601 Fairgrounds Drive and named it after Demetrius.
Western Colorado’s very own Sam Seale was a dangerous speed burner who ran track and played RB in college leading the team in both rushing and receiving.
The Raiders and Al Davis who always had a love affair with speed, selected Seale in the 8th round of the 1984 NFL draft.
The Raiders kicked the tires on him at WR and return man, before converted him to DB.
Intercepted first pass for a 38 yard TD against the Patriots in 1985.
Officially transitioned to RCB the following season and had a career high 4 interceptions.
In ’87 returned a fumble return for a TD.
Signed as a Free Agent by the San Diego Chargers in 1988, and matched career high with 4 interceptions that year.
Returned to the Raiders ’92 as a Plan B free agent seeing action in 5 contests.
Played one final year across town with the Rams, seeing action in one contest, retiring after the ’93 season.
In 1995, joined the Green Bay Packers front office where he’s earned quite a reputation as a scout.

NOTES:
Getting Sam was somewhat of a coup. An exceeding rare signer, I took a shot at getting him on these two set needs through the Packers.
