Eric Metcalf played in that stadium during his college career in Austin wearing the orange uniform that this signed piece represents, as a multi-dimensional talent who had grown up in a football family – his father Terry Metcalf had been a professional running back with the St. Louis Cardinals – and who arrived at Texas with the athleticism and the football intelligence that watching a professional player play football at home tends to develop. The Texas Longhorns career established the foundation for what would follow professionally. This signed Texas orange college football jersey, authenticated by Beckett BAS, carries his signature on the piece that connects to the collegiate chapter of that career. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🏈 The NFL career that followed gave Eric Metcalf one of the most unusual positional profiles of his generation. The Cleveland Browns drafted him in the first round in 1989, and what the organization received was a player who did not fit neatly into any traditional NFL positional category – too small to be a conventional running back at the highest level, too explosive with the ball in space to simply move inside and become a slot receiver, and with return game ability that made him a weapon every time a punt or kickoff came his way. He returned six punts for touchdowns in his NFL career, a number that accumulates only across a sustained ability to make the initial fielding, identify the proper lane, and then outrun pursuit coverage teams built specifically to prevent exactly that outcome. Beckett BAS confirmed the Eric Metcalf signature on this Texas orange college football jersey. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⭐ Eric Metcalf. Texas Longhorns.
