  • Signed with the Chicago Bears in 1997.
  • By 1998 was not a fit for the team scheme as Tom was more of a coverage corner and the Bears were looking for an all-purpose DB.

  • Cut during the 1999 season- joined the Cincinnati Bengals.
  • Played an additional 24 games in Cincinnati intercepting 3 passes.
  • There he became quite popular and was seen as a spiritual leader in the locker room.

ACCOLADES:

  • All Rookie Team 1993

NOTES:

Tom had no shortage of impressive cards that came out during his rookie season in ’93. Problem is by then I had firmly discovered girls and Nintendo. These things consumed my meager finances and football cards, and autographs at the time slowly began to be left out in the cold for ‘bigger priorities’.

Duncan, Curtis (4)

Proset 1993, #168

CARD: Pro Set 1993, Photo Memorabilia
ACQUIRED: In Person, GTSM 2023

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

After Haywood signed TTM back in 2020 I flipped back out this photo to Curtis I took from the GMC Showcase back in 2013. I was surprised not to get it back TTM. After 3 years of waiting I figured I’d just get him at the GTSM showcase.

I was the first person in line for Curtis. He was happy to sign anything. I think he recognized me from the last time we met at the Houston Texans game while he was still an ambassador for the franchise. He LOVED the #80 jersey I was wearing and told me he still had the GMC shirt from the photo below.
