[7sinVegas7]

Hardest one yet.

HBCU = Historically Black College Universities

Card must show HBCU college uni, Pro jersey.

I looked through a few old school college sets believing they'd have a few greats from Morgan State University and came up with nothing. They have multiple Football Hall of Famers from there and a few players that were key to champ years

Roosevelt Brown
Len Ford
LeRoy Kelly
Willie Lanier

Then Raymond Chester and John Fuqua

Hardest one yet. Maybe too hard.

Here is a list of all Morgan State pro players: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/schools/morganst/index.htm

I have one of Antoine Bethea's (Howard University) rookies in my collection but it's only in a Colts uniform. I don't recall seeing any of his rookies where he's featured in a Howard University jersey.

Your right, they don't exist.

Porbably one of the best NFL to Media Personality Transitions in history:

But there is more, how about a card with both an NFL Uniform AND College Uniform

note: Terrance West has the best HBCU cards ever made. On card autos. Sick jersey cards. Low numbered. He rushed for over 4000 yds. in college. Decent pro but short career. Ultimately couldn't stick on a roster.

As a Towson graduate, Towson is not an HBCU...


Ryan Delaire is a nice guy though. Was in the same major so we were in many a class together.

Wow, cool story! Thanks for the 411.

Yeah, that's right. Looks like just a small school that plays HBCUs a lot. Too bad, but free promo for West and Delaire (no Pro cards available).

Thanks again on the heads up appreciate the help on this.
