Adjei-Barimah, Jude

Topps AAF 2019, #AU-JA

CARD: Topps AAF 2019 Certifed
ACQUIRED: 2019, Box Breaker

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Jude Adejei-Barimah played DB for Bowling Green from 2011-14.
  • A situational starter in the secondary, he wasn’t a fulltime starter in the secondary until his senior campaign in 2014.
  • Still as a Sophomore in 2012, Jude posted 4 interceptions.
  • In 2014, Jude had 82 total tackles, 4 TFL, 1.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, a pick, and 11 pass deflections.
  • Signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2015 as a free agent.
  • In 2017, spent nearly the entire season on IR after fracturing his knee.
  • Jumpstarted his career in 2019, signing with the San Diego Fleet of the AAF.
  • After securing a roster spot on the Fleet, was injured in the season opener against the San Antonio Commanders.
  • He’d later be placed on IR with a wrist injury missing the rest of the abbreviated season.
  • Selected by the Tampa Bay Vipers of the XFL 2020 initiative and had contract terminated when the league ceased operations during COVID.

Favorite thing about it (AAF) has been seeing so many familiar faces on other teams that competed with or against in the past.

NOTES:

Jude stepped up for the Fleet as an ambassador after his injury, even doing an AMA on Reddit. He got in what he could during that first game against the Commanders, making a pick, and then taunting SA fans from the Fleet bench- though later in his AMA he admitted he very much enjoyed playing at the Alamodome.

Vaughan, Dustin

Cards: Crown Royale 2014, Panini Optic 2014, Topps AAF 2019 Red Parallel (88/99), Topps AAF 2019 Certified
Acquired: TTM 2019, C/o Home
Sent: 5/3 Received: 5/9 (6 days)

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Dustin Vaughan played QB for West Texas A&M from 2010-13.
  • In 2013, finished as the runner up for the Harlon Hill Award, shattering NCAA passing records with 5,401 passing yards.
  • His 54 TDs that season were also a school record.
  • Went unselected but was immediately signed by the Dallas Cowboys after the 2014 Draft.
  • Cut shortly after making the Cowboys regular season roster as the team decided to go with 2 QBs for the season.
  • Over the next few years, spent time as an offseason addition to the Bills (2015), Steelers (2016), and Ravens (2016-17).
  • Joined the AAF as a territorial allocation of the San Antonio Commanders in 2018/9.
  • Commanders selected Vaughan as their #1 pick in the AAFs Pick or Protect Draft.
  • Team viewed Vaughan as the ‘QB of their Future’.
  • Finished as the Commanders’ 3rd string QB behind Logan Woodside and Marquise Williams.

NOTES:

Dustin didn’t really any playing time besides some relief duty in the Commanders’ romp over the Hotshots in Arizona, but as he was the team’s #1 pick, he got all the accoutrements afforded to him such as a trading card and a jersey. -The jersey was probably a life lesson to a lot of people. Before the team even hit the field, there were people buying them anticipating the Vaughan era to begin in SA, but the team and league were very quiet about the starting lineup. It wasn’t until actual game day that it was revealed that Woodside was the starter. I just remember how surreal it was walking around the outside of the stadium and people were buying and wearing these hundred dollar jerseys of a guy who didn’t even start a game.
