Cards That Never Were: Jarrett Payton Topps 2006

Cards That Never Were is a recurring series in which I create digital trading cards for players missed in various sets. It is a concept I borrow from far too many to list, but I appreciate all of their efforts.

Son of Walter and nephew of Eddie, Jarrett Payton starred at the University of Miami, before signing with the Tennessee Titans as a free agent. He did not play for them in 2004, but played for Amsterdam in NFL Europe in 2005, before rejoining Tennessee. He played in 13 games for the Titans in 2005, rushing 33 times for 105 yards with 6 touchdowns. He also caught six passes for 30 yards and two kick returns for 24 yards. That would be it for his NFL career. He also played a couple seasons in the Canadian Football League and one season in the Indoor Football League.

For his efforts, Topps did not give Payton a card. Still, I because believe everyone should get a card, I created one for his season in the NFL.
