The Story of the Autograph
Steve McMichael played in the NFL for 15 and is best remembered as one of the member of the vaunted 1985 Chicago Bears defense. He played for the Bears for 13 years sandwiched between a year with the Patriots in 1980 and a year with the Packers in 1994. He played as a defensive tackle.
McMichael was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1980 draft by the Patriots after playing for the Texas Longhorns in college. In 1981 the Bears acquired him as a free agents. While in Chicago he had a streak of 101 games started until the 1990 season when his playing time was reduced. But in 1985 he was part of one of the best defenses of all time and helped the Bears to a Super Bowl championship.
He had some great years in the mid-to-late 80’s and made the Pro Bowl twice in 1986 and 87. Then in 1988 he led the team with 11 1/2 sacks and followed that up with 108 tackles in 1989.
Later McMichael would get involved with professional wrestling and coached a team in the CIFL. He’s a member of the College Football Hall of Fame.
The Score on Steve McMichael – 4.5
Steve doesn’t have a fancy signature, but man is that thing big. I love the size and the space he takes up. It’s really great for a card and he used a great marker on this one. The thing that takes it down a few notches for me is the smudge. Most likely it just wasn’t dry when he handled it and I’m sure he’s working through them quickly as he probably has a lot to sign. I’ll send to Steve again in the future. I do have to remember that he kept two of my cards for the next time.
Thanks Mr. McMichael! This gets a 4.5.
