Courtesy of www.VintageCardPrices.com , a 1981 Topps football card of Hall of Fame wide receiver James Lofton. A football and track star in college at Stanford, Lofton entered the NFL as the top draft pick of the Green Bay Packers in 1978 and played nine seasons with the team. He wound up playing a total of 16 years in the league with 5 different teams, and was named to the Pro Bowl eight times. After his Green Bay days, Lofton had a couple of lost seasons in Oakland before being claimed off the waiver wire by Bill Polian in Buffalo, where he had great success hooking up with Jim Kelly, appearing in 3 Super Bowls with the Bills. He dabbled in coaching for awhile after retiring as a player, and currently serves as an analyst on the radio broadcasts of Sunday Night Football.

Lofton one of my favorite all-time Bills even though he is most noted for his career in Green Bay.
