89toppsbennett

1989 Topps football card of former NFL linebacker Cornelius Bennett, who played for 14 seasons, nine of them with the Buffalo Bills. When he was selected in the NFL draft second overall out of Alabama in 1987, he became the highest selection from the school since Joe Namath in 1965. He was an outstanding player, being elected to the Pro Bowl 5 times. He was also named to the NFL All Decade team for the 1990s and the Bills’ All Time 50th Anniversary team. Bennett was fortunate to play in five Super Bowls, four with the Bills and one with Atlanta, but unfortunately lost all five of them.
