\"Rod<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Rod Sherman, who played wide receiver for seven seasons<\/a> in the AFL and NFL, passed away on February 6<\/a>. He was 79. Sherman played four years for the Oakland Raiders and one each for the Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos, and Los Angeles Rams. He was a member of the 1967 Raiders team that won the AFL Championship and played the NFL’s Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s card of the day is Sherman’s 1973 Topps card<\/a>. This is his rookie card, issued in his seventh and final season. (The 1973 Topps football set<\/a> is far larger than its predecessors, so it contains a lot of players who hadn’t appeared on cards before.) Sherman’s card shows him with the Broncos, but he played for the Rams in 1973.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sherman’s best year was 1972, when he caught 38 passes for 661 yards and 3 touchdowns for the Broncos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
