Quinton Patton was a 4th round pick out of Louisiana Tech by the San Fransisco 49ers in 2012.
A two year starter at WR for LA Tech, he caught 183 passes for 2594 yards and 24 TDs.
Played four seasons for the ‘9ers.
Best season came in 2016, catching 37 passes for 408 yards, but finished the season on IR.
Signed with the Jets in 2017, but was later released with an injury settlement.
Joined the AAF in 2019 as a member of the Birmigham Iron.
In the league debut, he caught 4 passes for 104 yards.
Caught 33 passes for 372 yards in 8 contests for the Iron.
NOTES:
Great card of Quinton. His base card is equally impressive. He’s still a big football fan, and has recently directed his attention towards helping young athletes develop their football potential.
CARD: Upper Deck College Legends 2011 ACQUIRED: EBay, 2020
CAREER SNAPSHOT:
Kendall Hunter played college ball for the OSU Cowboys from 2007-10.
In both 2008 and 2010 he rushed for over 1,500 yards, and had over 20 catches.
He was named as a finalist for the Doak Walker Award in his senior season, and finished his career with 4,181 yards and 37 TDs on 708 carries.
Due primarily to his size, 5’7″, 199, Hunter wouldn’t be selected until the 3rd round of the 2011 draft by the San Fransisco 49ers.
During his time in the league from 2011-2015, Hunter saw action in 45 contests, starting 1 in his rookie year.
He had a career high 473 yards on 112 carries and 16 catches for 195 yards.
Used primarily as a 3rd down or as a change of pace back, Kendall ran for 1202 yards on 262 carries for the 9ers.
Was released after the 2014 season, when he spent the entire year on IR due to a knee injury.
Signed with the Saints in 2015, late in the year to spell injured Mark Ingram.
Briefly joined the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL in 2017, but retired soon thereafter.
NOTES:
Who knows how Kendall would’ve performed if he was shoved into a role with a team that used him as a primary back in a run n shoot or spread set up? He definitely had a set of wheels on him, and some great college number to prove it.
Over his college career he accumulated 1573 yards passing and 10 TD passes, 2009 yards from scrimmage and 20 TDs on 366 touches.
Selected in the second round of the 1975 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins.
Caught 22 passes for 339 yards and 2 TDs his rookie year.
Also played on special teams, racking up 348 KR yards, and 26 punt returns for 320 yards and a 60 yard TD.
Although not a factor in the Dolphins passing game the following two seasons either, he was a devastating punt returner, posting a 79 yard TD in ’76, and 11.4 yards per return overall in Miami.
After a 252 yards from scrimmage against the Bills and 3 TDs, San Fransisco’s interest was piqued.
Traded to the 49ers in 1978 along with safety Vern Roberson, and first and fifth round draft picks for RB Delvin Williams.
The 9ers saw Freddie’s potential and gave him plenty of opportunities at WR.
Set the franchise mark for longest TD grab at 92 yards in 1980.
Freddie had a career high 59 catches for 969 yards in 1982.
He’d also do PR duty as well, returning 2 for TDs in 1980.
A key member of SF’s early Super Bowl runs, Freddie played 8 seasons for San Fransisco, posting 310 receptions for 4,873 yards and 43 TDs.
Freddie retired after the 1985 season.
ACCOLADES:
1975 All Rookie Team
NOTES:
I waited this one out for about 3 years, until the market started collapsing. I gambled that since Freddie was considered a lesser star, I would be able to get him at a pretty decent price.
EPITAPH:
Freddie passed away February 13th, 2012 after a 9 month battle from liver and colon cancer. He was just 59.
