Football Rookie Cards
My first year collecting football cards was 1977 as an 8 year old. Let's see your favorite football rookie cards, they don't have to be HOF'ers either. I'll start off with a few of mine, can you tell I'm an Atlanta Falcons fan.........

A handful of my favorite players:
Snell - one could argue he was co-mvp of one of the early Super Bowls.... Anderson - he did win a Super Bowl MVP, but what I most like is once he got past the point of being a breakaway runner, he reinvented himself late in his career as a power back and found success - not an easy thing to do Foreman - the more video I see of this guy, the more impressed I am Bavaro - they say not to trust your memories from youth (especially when it comes to watching sports), but all I remember is this guy dragging would be tacklers along for the ride on what seemed like every catch

1967 Topps #82 Wahoo McDaniel RC. As a gimmick, whenever McDaniel made a tackle, the PA announcer would announce, "Tackle made by...guess who?", which the crowd would respond, "WAHOO!"
Wahoo was respected by pro wrestlers and football players for his toughness, physical style and his crazy antics outside of the ring. His playing ability in football was often overshadowed by his wild lifestyle. Joe Namath and Larry Csonka, who played with him early in their careers, both printed stories about him in their autobiographies. Along that same line, Len Dawson has been quoted as saying "The hardest hit I ever received on a football field was by Wahoo McDaniel. Wahoo died in 2002, RIP Wahoo! Larry
