As a football card collector, I started to focus on him early. I am glad I did. I was able to snag quite a few of his cards for cheap or make some easy trades. Everyone was focused on Luck and RG3 and Trent Richardson that I basically was able to have my pick of Casey Hayward cards. Also, only one NFL-licensed card company was smart enough to get Hayward to sign autos for them.

Here is what I have in hand:

Totally Certified Red auto #/290

I also have the non-variation coming in but I don't have a pic/scan of that one yet.

Beautiful cards..... the good thing is cornerbacks cards typically aren't too expensive.
Even Deion Sanders 1989 rookie cards are very affordable, as are Charles Woodson's 1998 rookie cards.
What a class that was, 1998, Manning, Woodson, Randy Moss.
Bears took Curtis Enis at 5, still gives me a chuckle.
