Moyer, Paul

Pro Set 1989, #398

CARD: Pro Set 1989
ACQUIRED: TTM 2023, C/o Work
SENT: 1/17 RECEIVED: 2/13 (27 days)

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • After transferring from Cal St Fullerton, Paul Moyer finished out his college career playing for Arizona State in 1983.
  • He’d go undrafted in 1984, but catch on with the Seattle Seahawks, starting one game.
  • In his rookie campaign he had an interception for a TD and 3 forced fumbles.
  • He’d start his first 16 game slate in 1988, posting a career high 6 picks and 2 forced fumbles.
  • Unfortunately in 1989 he suffered a career ending neck injury.
  • He’d be hired as a coach for the team, working with the DBs from 1990-’94.
  • Since that time he’s worked for the franchise as an analyst for the Seahawks pre and post game coverage.

NOTES:

Sometimes I crawl through the back end of sportscollectors.net and look for players that have fallen through the cracks TTM. I had a very good feeling about Paul. He was a player who boasted a pretty good response percentage, but had dropped off recently after an address change. It just required a bit of grease work to find his updated address. He responded by writing a very nice note thanking me for being a fan along with the autographed card.

  • Would have been drafted higher, but injuries riddled his final year of college and early on in his pro career.

NOTES:

Keith works for the Broncos as the Vice President of Security. I had a set need with Keith on the Pro Set 1989, and realized after sifting through cards late one night, he had a great Score 1989 card. I’m a sucker for cards with big men that have dirt on them. This one definitely checked all the boxes so I had get Keith.
