CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

I fought my way through a torrential downpour and traffic from the north part of town all the way to New Braunfels to see Aaron. I had printed his hack card on a whim a few months ago since he had signed in person for me in the past. When I originally printed the card I made a mistake and hadn’t updated the back so I had to reprint it with the correct player information. Aaron really liked the hack card I gave him and he gave it to his son.

We talked briefly about the game that was played today (Vanderbilt) and how Texas toppled #7 all the way from #20. I also lamented about how people have been treating Arch- which he wholeheartedly agreed. As I left I realized that the hack card he signed for me in bronze had smeared. Luckily my friend Mark had a white eraser and we were able to take most of it off and have him resign it properly. It looks fantastic!

Davis, Chris (WR)

Card: Playoff Contenders 2007
Acquired: 3/6/12, Target Authentic Memorabilia Autograph Edition

During his time with the Florida Seminoles, Chris Davis recorded 137 receptions for 1842 yards and 12 touchdowns. In his senior season in 2006 Chris played in the Senior Bowl and finished among the elite receivers and returners in FSU history.

A dynamic weapon with the versatility to play wide receiver and return kicks, Chris Davis uses his 5-foot-10 frame to his advantage, running precise routes and making quick cuts. His elusiveness makes him dangerous after the catch and in the open field as a returner. In pre-draft workouts, he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds, bench pressed 291 pounds and recorded a 36-inch vertical jump. The Titans selected him with their second of two fourth-round picks (128th overall) in the 2007 NFL Draft. Through his first two NFL seasons, he appeared in 17 games and totaled seven receptions for 69 yards, 33 punt returns for 299 yards (9.1 avg.) and six kickoff returns for 156 yards (26.0 avg.).

In 2010, Chris signed with the Cincinnati Bengals and also saw time on the roster of the Giants as well. Eventually Chris signed with the Hartford Colonials of the UFL later that year, but was released. In 2011 he signed with the Omaha Nighthawks where he currently remains on their roster.
