The Story of the Autograph

Jim Zorn is a former quarterback and head coach in the NFL. He played from 1976 to 1987 (after a stop in Winnipeg for 1986) with the Seahawks, Packers, and Buccaneers. He later coached mostly as a QB coach but also was the Redskins head coach for 2008 and 2009.

Zorn was born and raised in California. In high school he played football, basketball, baseball, track and speed skating. He didn’t start football until his sophomore season. He went on to Cerritos college and was benched as a sophomore. He transferred to Cal Poly Pomona and had a couple good years before graduating.

He went undrafted and spent training camp with the Dallas Cowboys but was cut two days before the season. The Seahawks picked him up in 1976 and he spent the next nine years there. He was their first starting quarterback in their early years until Dave Krieg unseated him. His best years were probably 1978 and 1979 when the Seahawks went 9-7 both years. He put up more than 3000 yards for three consecutive seasons with a high of 3600 in 1979 and 20 touchdowns.

I like Jim’s signature. If I was going to be picky I wish it was a bit more centered, but it’s got some good size. This was the only card of his that I found in my collection and it’s a little beat up. Looks like a DJ tried to scratch it like a record.

Thanks Mr. Zorn! I’m giving this one a 7.
