As a kid most All-American boys at some point in time collected sports trading cards. I still have boxes of MLB, NBA and NFL cards stuffed away in a storage closet at home. Heck, I have some of the better cards displayed in cases in my "man cave." Could you imagine being ON one of those cards? And I'm not talking abouit some cheesy replica card you get from disney on vacation.

Former ECU running back Chris Johnson and 33 other NFL rookies were dressed in full team uniforms and put in action poses for their first ever sports card shoots. The Upper Deck card company gathered the rookies together at historic Los Angeles Coliseum for the big photo shoot. I can't wait to see how the cards come out.

I currently have rookie cards featuring former ECU players Luke Fisher, Robert Jones, David Garrard, Leonard Henry and Jeff Blake. I would love to add a Chris Johnson rookie card to my collection. You never get too old to collect trading cards.

    Where are all of the PIRATE NATION members now? Oh that's right, once ECU loses a rare player to the NFL draft the focus is lost.

    I loved CJ at ECU but he is going to get a run for his money in the NFL.

    Chris Johnson is going to be an NFL bust. Therefore his rookie card won't be worth the cardboard it's printed on.
