Dan Fouts Rookie Card

 

Before Dan Marino, there was Dan Fouts.  Marino broke the record (held by Fouts) for passing yards in a season back in 1984.  Marino's performance that year is now the 12th most passing yards in a season.  There was a time when Dan Fouts sat in second on the all-time passing yards list as well, behind only Fran Tarkenton.  Dan Marino ultimately broke Tarkenton's record, but Marino himself now sits in ninth place on the all-time list.  It's amazing how the game has changed over the years.  In any case, I'm thrilled to get back this signed 1975 Topps Rookie Card of Hall of Fame QB Dan Fouts.  Thanks, Dan!
