Classic Sports Card of The Day

19 Apr

1995 Metal football card of former pro defensive lineman Dan “Big Daddy” Wilkinson, who played 13 seasons in the NFL for 4 different teams. What’s the significance of this player? He was the first overall pick of the 1994 draft, which was the first year that the league went to it’s current 7 rounds. Although he lasted a long while in the NFL, Wilkinson never measured up to the status of a top pick, with his career being hampered by injuries on multiple occasions. The Bengals’ choice of him especially stings when you consider that the next pick after him, by the Colts, was future Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk.
