CAREER SNAPSHOT:
Lonnie Young played DB for Michigan State from 1982-84.
Recorded 6 interceptions for 10 yards over college career.

Had a solid ’90 campaign recording 111 total tackles.
Traded to the New York Jets in 1991.

NOTES:
Lonnie appears in Tecmo Super Bowl with the Arizona Cardinals, however oddly he has outlandish stats and abilities, making him one of the most complete defensive backs in the game.

NOTES:
Kevin didn’t have a shortage of cards, but I really wanted to get his NFLE entries autographed. Unfortunately the only ones he had in the league were Claymores cards. Still nice grab C/o Dartmouth.
