Someone has to be picking up football. These were like $3 a pop for my sets
Cotton Davidson had to have one of the most hard luck careers in Pro Football. Drafted into the NFL in 1954, then into the army in 1955. Returns in 1957 to seriously begin his pro career, but he was a Colt and that was the moment the Colts discovered this Johnny Unitas kid was looking like he would be great. Spends 1958 in Canada and 1959 coaching at Baylor before the AFL gives him his 3rd chance. He does pretty good in 1960 and 1961 (and makes the all star game in 1961 where he is the MVP of that game), but then the Texans discover this other guy Len Dawson, who leads the league in half the passing categories for 1962 and they don't need last years All-Star. Davidson gets dumped to the Raiders (for a draft pick which became Buck Buchanan, a great win for KC) for his 4th chance, where he is now 32. He makes the All-Star team again in his first year as a Raider, though he only gets 5 starts. Gets some playing time but misses a lot of time for the next 4 years and ends his career at 37. Not saying he was a great or anything, but Davidson was good enough to make all-star teams even after what should have been physical prime but something always seemed to happen outside of his control to halt his career. George Connor is always a good buy in my book, as he is basically priced as a common card in most sets but was a deserving hall of famer and one of the early large-but-quick linebackers. He's a steal. |
