  • Abram Smith played college ball at Baylor from 2018-’21.

  • Over the course of the XFL ’23 season, Abram ran for 788 yards and 6 TDs.
  • Signed with the Vikings after the season, but didn’t make the squad.

  • Resigned with DC for the ’25 campaign and rushed for 285 yards and a TD on 101 carries.

ACCOLADES:

NOTES:

I got Abram at almost the same time I got Malik Fisher. Abram didn’t seem all too enthusiastic even though I gave him a custom to keep, but still I was happy to get the XFL ’23’s leading rusher on a card.

NOTES:

J’Mar was wandering off the field after their loss to the Brahmas during the 2024 season. He and Marlon Williams ambled up and signed their cards for me. It was a good double hit.

I had been having a lot of success with the Upper Deck UFL set. I pulled this dual autograph from a group of 8 packs I opened. I was pretty satisfied with this hit- although I am unsure if J’mar and Amari have ever been on the field at the same time.
