Great cards and autographs of Amari Rodgers here. I remember the Texans back in 2022, picked up Amari Rodgers I felt to try to see if they could lure Deshaun Watson out of his self imposed retirement. (Glad it didn’t work.)

ACQUIRED: Epack, 2025. In Person 2025, San Antonio Brahmas v DC Defenders

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • A talented athlete in college, Jontre Kirklin could do it all at DB, QB and WR while playing at LSU from 2017-’21.
  • Undrafted he signed with the Arizona Cardinals after the 2022 NFL Draft.
  • Kirklin was selected by the Houston Roughnecks for play in the 2023 XFL season.
  • Off to a fast start, Kirklin started 4 games, catching 15 passes for 253 yards and 5 TDs , before suffering a season ending chest injury.
  • After rehabbing, he’d spend the rest of the 2023 season on and off the practice squad of the New Orleans Saints.

  • Returned to the team for 2025, but with the coaching staff in turmoil, the offense suffered mightily.
  • Still managed to catch 35 passes for 284 yards on 7 starts.
1 reception for 10 yards

NOTES:

I was wandering around trying to get a few autographs after the Brahmas lost to Washington when I spied out Kirklin still on the field. I ran around and was able to lure him back with his Roughnecks custom.

The following week the Brahmas lost a tough game in OT to Memphis, which is played on the visiting side of the field where I sit. I tried as hard as I could to rally the crowd, and I want to believe I stood out.

Randomly after the contest Jontre came up to me and gave me his gloves. I was extremely touched.

I had really, really wanted the Brahmas dual autograph of Jontre and Cody. When I first started the set, this was the one I really wanted. Problem was, when Upper Deck first released the set, for some reason, this limited autograph got pulled a lot, by a select few people. This created a problem, as even though they got a stack of these cards, they refused to trade them. I was really frustrated by this and waited it out.

About 6 months I was able to make a deal with another collector, who had a very low trade rating. I did offer them 12 cards- 5 of them being autographs, and one GDM, but it was worth it, as the vast majority of them were duplicates.

NOTES:

Hah! Nice Marquette.

Well I tried to add Marquette on an extra base card, but he glanced at me- gave what I thought was a snooty look and trotted off. After the game, he b-lined for the locker room without signing for anyone.

It’s okay. I already had his certified card and this nice duo autograph of him and Brad Wing.
