Adams, Jonathan

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.

Bethel-Thompson, McLeod (2) ‘MBT’

CARDS: Upper Deck USFL 2023, Upper Deck CFL 2023
ACQUIRED: TTM 2023, C/o Home
SENT: 12/4/23 RECEIVED: 5/9/25 (522 days)

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

I was genuinely surprised to get McLeod’s autograph back on his parallel card after such a long wait. It had been so long that I had just given up in general on it after I had seen a few successes on him trickle in but nothing for me. Maybe he thought he mailed it out or the mailman lost it at the facility and delivered it months or a year later.. Who knows? But he was kind enough to drop the extra UD CFL card in for me.

NOTES:

After the Renegades trounced the Brahmas at San Antonio, Sal was kind enough to sign an additional card or two for me after the game. I sent those extras to some friends for some future considerations.

All things aside this is a great looking card of him and I was really glad to add his certified to help close out the set.
