NOTES:

So way, way back in 1992 or so when I got his autograph through the Packers, Darrell signed my cards with a D—— T——-. That’s it! It was pretty uninspiring.

When I unpacked the cards and started looking at the autographs online, I noticed that Darrell was a voracious signer, and that he was signing his full autograph- which is a lot better than his original. So over the years, I kicked the tires on mailing out a few more cards to him to get autographed. That was probably 15-ish years ago?

I always wanted to get the Action Packed 1990 Rookies card replaced, so I tossed that in along with a few others. He not only signed the cards, he also wrote a really nice note- saying that he’d try harder <in regards to the autograph this time around>.

Randle, Ervin

CARDS: Score 1990, Score 1991, Gameday 1992
ACQUIRED: TTM 2023, C/o Home
SENT: 9/5 RECEIVED: 9/29 (24 days)

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Ervin Randle was a versatile defender at Baylor, where he played at NT, DE, OLB, and ILB for the Bears totaling 294 tackles over his college career.
  • A 3rd round pick, he was the 56th player taken in the 1985 NFL Draft by Tampa Bay.
  • Thanks due in part to injuries that ravaged the Bucs at LB, Ervin saw action in all 16 games, starting 7 his rookie year.
  • Responded by posting 60 tackles, a sack, 3 tackles for loss, an interception, and 3 forced fumbles.
  • By 1987, Ervin had seen action at all linebacker positions for the Bucs.
  • That season he’d lead the team with 117 tackles.
  • After missing 8 games due to a shoulder injury in ’88, he’d return to the starting lineup in 1989 and lead the team with 114 tackles.
  • Traded to Chiefs in 1991, and posted 10 tackles in his lone start.
  • In 1992 started 5 contests for the Chiefs retiring after the season.

NOTES:

Ervin Randle was a herald of Baylor defensive football- as he paved the way for players like Santana Dotson and James Francis to follow.
