1968 Topps football card of former NFL receiver Howard Twilley, who played his entire 11 year career in the league for the Miami Dolphins. He was an original member of the team, as he was chosen in the 14th round of the NFL draft by the Dolphins in their inaugural season in 1966. Twilley was the only remaining original player from that ’66 team to play for Miami’s back-to-back Super Bowl championship clubs in the early 1970s. After his playing days ended, Twilley considered a run for Congress in Oklahoma, but instead decided to back another former player – Steve Largent – for the seat.
