1965 Philadelphia football card of former NFL receiver and kick return specialist Walt “The Flea” Roberts. He played the first 3 seasons of his 6 year career with the Cleveland Browns, 1964 to 1966, helping the Browns win the league championship in his rookie campaign. He was left unprotected in the 1967 expansion draft to stock the new New Orleans franchise, and was grabbed by the Saints. Roberts finished his playing days with 2 seasons in Washington. A college track star at San Jose State, he picked up his nickname for his tremendous speed and diminutive size.
