Bo Scaife played collegially for the University of Texas from 1999-’04.
ACL injuries held him out in two years, but he managed to haul in 75 catches for 997 yards and 5 TDs.
Selected in the 6th round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans.
Bo developed well into a pretty reliable target at TE over his career never failing to catch less than 29 passes a season.
In 2006, became the only TE in NFL history to catch a TD, rush for a TD, return a few kickoffs, and make a tackle on special teams all in one season.
Caught a career high 58 passes for 561 yards and 2 TDs in 2008.
Spent 2011 with the Bengals, where he recorded no catches.
This led to a final off season with the Patriots in 2012, before he retired.
NOTES:
I mean this one was disappointing in the way that I picked this up. I had been working with a friend to corner a few autographs here and there. As future considerations were concerned we exchanged autographs back and forth, but mightily I held an edge, sending him two Ricky Williams autographs. All of a sudden one day, he posts on a Facebook group that he’s no longer doing TTM and just puts everything up for sale, including the Ricky Williams autographs. Before I could reclaim them, he’d already liquidated them. He didn’t really have much to say about not settling up his considerations, so I just laid claim to this one since I’ve never seen Bo sign anything at all- even though he’s a UT grad.
It’s led to me to state a policy flat out to anybody I spot cards for: If they quit collecting or decide to sell their collection, and they still haven’t settled their considerations with me, they have to send those back.
Rashard Davis played WR at James Madison from 2013-’16.
In 26 starts he posted 1,549 yards and 11 TDs on 114 catches.
Undrafted in 2017 he spent the season on and off the Eagles practice squad that year, and the following season in 2018.
He split 2019 between the Titans and Chiefs- recording his first NFL reception for 16 yards while playing for Tennessee.
Davis was with the Titans through the 2021 off season.
After briefly spending time with the Jets, Davis signed with the Tampa Bay Bandits of the USFL in 2022.
On the season Davis, caught 22 passes for 369 yards and 2 TDs.
He’d join the Memphis Showboats in 2023, catching 8 passes for 115 yards and a 43 yard TD.
Unfortunately his season ended prematurely during his 3rd contest, and he’d be waived with an injury designation,
NOTES:
I had sent to Rashard back at the tail end of 2023, but didn’t hear back from him. One of many recent discouraging recent TTMs.
Joe’s package of kindness couldn’t have arrived at a better time. I was having a really tough month. A complete series of setbacks… trying to fix problems and just watching it all disintegrate in front of me. Some weeks, the days are all just a blur, taking care of everything the best I could, leaving me less time than I’d like to pursue my hobbies.
It’s nice to be thought of from time to time…. Keeps me going.

Dominant player who etched his name in the school’s record books.
Over 4 years had 35 sacks, 412 tackles, and 13 fumble recoveries.
Selected in the 2nd round of the 1979 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills.
Jim hit the ground running and in his first contest notched a team leading 17 tackles.
In rookie year had 2 interceptions and 2 fumble recoveries playing at LILB.
Alongside fellow Bills players Fred Smerlas and Shane Nelson, they formed the nucleus of the defense’s ‘Bermuda Traingle’ unit.
An aggressive player and big hitter, Jim recorded over 100 tackles 5 times in his career.
He’d play 7 seasons in Buffalo, starting 86 games posting 7.5 sacks, 11 fumble recoveries, and 6 interceptions.
In 1987 he came back for 3 games playing for the New York Jets before moving into the coaching ranks.
After three years working for Buffalo University both as a linebackers coach and defensive coordinator, Jim moved up to the spring football league circuit.
He parlayed his experience in the World League into a positional coaching job in the NFL with the Raiders as a linebackers coach in 1993.
After two years there, Jim spent a year with the Saints as their linebacker coach.
It’d be in 1996 that Haslett experienced his first taste of being a defensive coordinator with the Saints where he saw potent results.
He’d not be retained by the Saints after they cleaned house in ’97, so he spent the next 3 years as the DC of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Saints cleaned house again in 2000, and brought Haslett back to be head coach that year.
Jim led the Saints to their first playoff win that year.
He’d be fired after a tumultuous 2005 season, one in which the team cratered thanks in part to having to relocate temporarily from Hurricane Katrina to San Antonio.
Haslett then was defensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams from 2006-’08.
Jim replaced Scott Linehan as interim head coach in 2008.
In 2009, Haslett was head coach of the UFL ’09 Florida Tuskers.
From 2010 to ’14 Haslett served as defensive coordinator of the Washington Redskins.
After a consulting gig with Penn State in 2015, Jim served as linebackers coach of the Cincinnati Bengals from 2016-’18.
That’d lead to an inside linebacking coach gig with the Titans in 2020 and 2021.
He then served as head coach of the Seattle Sea Dragons of the XFL in 2023 finishing with a 7-3 record and a playoff berth.
Unfortunately after the league merged with the USFL, the Sea Dragons were not retained.
