The Story of the Autograph
Micheal Barrow played Linebacker in the NFL for 13 seasons after being drafted in the second round of the 1993 NFL Draft by the Houston Oilers. After playing with the Oilers for four years he then went on to play for the Panthers, Giants, Redskins (though I don’t think he played a game), and Cowboys. I remember him best as a Giant though.
Barrow grew up in Florida and played in college for the Miami Hurricanes. At the time he played at “The U” the Hurricanes were still experiencing some great years. In fact, Barrow played there from 1989 to 1992 and Miami was the National Champion twice while he was there, in 1989 and 1991. They almost had a third in his senior year when he was a consensus first-team All-American.
The Oilers didn’t start Barrow until his second season. He had his best season in Houston in 1996 (his final season there) when he had six sacks, 67 tackles, 39 assists and 4 forced fumbles, all of which were career highs at the time. He move on to Carolina and his sack went up to 8.5 in his first year with the Panthers and would have a career high (at the time) with 97 tackles.
As I said I remember him as a Giant and in New York he was primarily a middle linebacker. He would never have less than 72 tackles in a season for the G-Men, but in 2003 he set a career high with 109 tackles for the season. Two of those were sacks and he added 39 assists. After playing in New York he would move on to Washington and Dallas, but he would only appear in 2 more games (with the Cowboys) and not record a statistic. For his career he played 173 games with 153 starts, 791 tackles, 22 forced fumbles, 10 fumble recoveries and 2 interceptions.
These days Micheal coaches linebackers for the Seattle Seahawks.
The Score on Micheal Barrow – 4.5
This was a touch one for me. I like Micheal’s signature a lot more than the score says, but the problem is the quality. The Classic card looks good, but it’s slightly smudged and you can see a fingerprint in it when you look at it live. The Wild Card card is smeared and impact everything from the last name all the way to the right. But in the pictures below you can see that the Classic card is much better. That signature is laid out really well too where the Wild Card card has part of the signature kind of off line. If not for the damage to the autograph I would have rated this higher.
Thank you Mr. Barrow! This return gets a 4.5.
