CARD: Upper Deck UFL 2024, Upper Deck UFL 2024 Printing Plate, Upper Deck USFL 2023 ACQUIRED: IP 2025, San Antonio Brahmas v Memphis Showboats, Epack 2025
CAREER SNAPSHOT:
Jonathan Adams played WR from 2017-’20 for Arkansas State.
During his time at the school, his catches, yards, and TDs grew exponentially every season.
In his senior season with the Red Wolves, he compiled 79 receptions for 1,111 yards and 12 TDs.
Had an impressive camp with the Lions after going undrafted in 2021, but would be later cut before camp concluded.
Selected by the New Orleans Breakers of the USFL in 2022.
Hauled in 31 passes for 406 yards and 3 TDs that season.
In 2023, Jonathan caught 41 passes for 511 yards and 2 TDs.
When the USFL and XFL merged, the Breakers were not retained.
Adams was selected during the 2024 dispersal draft by the Memphis Showboats.
Continued to showcase his abilities catching 33 passes for 441 yards and a TD in 2024, and 30 passes for 407 yards and 2 TD in 2025.
NOTES:
Jonathan Adams was the prize I was after from the Memphis game since Darius Victor was no longer on the squad. He had a really nice Breakers card from the USFL set I wanted. (Random note- but apparently the Breakers gear still sells quite well despite the franchise going on hiatus during the merger.) Adams is overshadowed by other talent in the UFL, but continues to be a consistent and solid performer, despite the QB and offensive issues in Memphis.
I was really happy to get Jonathan’s autograph on a printer’s plate, although he’s so lanky and large in this photo, he looks like a linebacker instead.
CARD: Sage 2023 ACQUIRED: IP, 2025 San Antonio Brahmas v Memphis Showboats
CAREER SNAPSHOT:
Daewood played college ball for the Oregon Ducks from 2018-’20, and Western Kentucky from 2021-’22.
While at Oregon, he saw action initially as a WR and then later as a CB.
After transferring to Western KY, he went back to receiver.
In ’21 he caught 43 passes for 763 yards and 8 TDs.
Then he followed that up in 2022 with 63 receptions for 872 yards and 7 TDs.
An UDFA after the 2023 draft, Daewood was signed by the Dolphins, but during a preseason game, was brutally hit and had to be carted off the field.
Due in part to the injury, Davis was cut before the season began.
Signed with the Memphis Showboats of the UFL in 2024.
As one of the few bright spots on the S’boats roster, he caught 41 passes for 446 yards and 5 TDs- including an 82 yarder.
Injured for most of 2025, he only caught 1 pass for 5 yards on the season officially.
ACCOLADES:
All UFL 2024
NOTES:
I did some research before the game and realized that Daewood was in the Sage 2023 set. I dug and dug and dug and finally found a few copies of his cards in my boxes.
For me, this set is sort of a revitalization of design that Sage needed to get me to buy a box or two. The cards are of solid quality, and the design is actually unique and pretty nice.
Daewood caught a 2 point conversion during the game in OT to help Memphis win. After the contest he came over with his kids and signed a few cards for both Jake and me. I sent a 3rd off to Joe for his collection as well.
Rashard Davis played WR at James Madison from 2013-’16.
In 26 starts he posted 1,549 yards and 11 TDs on 114 catches.
Undrafted in 2017 he spent the season on and off the Eagles practice squad that year, and the following season in 2018.
He split 2019 between the Titans and Chiefs- recording his first NFL reception for 16 yards while playing for Tennessee.
Davis was with the Titans through the 2021 off season.
After briefly spending time with the Jets, Davis signed with the Tampa Bay Bandits of the USFL in 2022.
On the season Davis, caught 22 passes for 369 yards and 2 TDs.
He’d join the Memphis Showboats in 2023, catching 8 passes for 115 yards and a 43 yard TD.
Unfortunately his season ended prematurely during his 3rd contest, and he’d be waived with an injury designation,
NOTES:
I had sent to Rashard back at the tail end of 2023, but didn’t hear back from him. One of many recent discouraging recent TTMs.
Joe’s package of kindness couldn’t have arrived at a better time. I was having a really tough month. A complete series of setbacks… trying to fix problems and just watching it all disintegrate in front of me. Some weeks, the days are all just a blur, taking care of everything the best I could, leaving me less time than I’d like to pursue my hobbies.
It’s nice to be thought of from time to time…. Keeps me going.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
