Classic Sports Card of The Day

04 Nov

This 1958 Topps football card of former NFL quarterback Lamar McHan is a classic example of the “huckabuck” pose used by players on cards of that era. On the card, McHan is shown doing what is a lost art in football today, throwing a “jump pass”, a tactic which shorter QBs used to throw over taller defensive linemen. McHan was highly touted coming out of college and was drafted as the second overall pick in 1954, but overall his career was disappointing. He played for 11 seasons with 4 different teams, mostly as a backup.
