  • Following that Bryan coached DL for the Falcons from 2014-’16.
  • In 2022, Bryan began- coaching with the Giants in 2022 as an assistant line coach.

NOTES:

You know- no risk, no reward. I went ahead and shot this card out as it was a strong set need for me. He had previously sent it back unsigned way back in… 2011. In fact he had sent back any rookie cards unsigned, so the fact I got his Score Supplemental 92 seemed like a win for me since it was that set’s first card of him.

Anyway 200+ days later, here it surprisingly was. A big win for me, and a great card in this set to get autographed.

Star Pics 1992, #17

NOTES:

Randal had been on my list for years and I sent out to him in 2017. Never getting him back, I tried again 3 years later and got him on three set needs: Action Packed Rookies 1991, ’92, and his Gameday card. I assumed that the mail gods had eaten my previous attempt back in ’17.

Well lo and behold to my surprise waiting for me at my in-laws house was this envelope. Among them was two more Action Packed Rookies cards and the original Star Pics card from 2017.

Earlier this year Paxton Lynch took the number two spot on my longest waits, and now it looks like this one dethrones it by a little over 100 days.
