Steve Young, 1993 Skybox (Preposterous Poster Week No. 3)


Name: Steve Young
Team: San Francisco 49ers
Position: Quarterback
Value of card: 7 ounces of fool's gold
Key 1992 stat: 25 passing touchdowns (by three Steve Youngs; that's more than eight each)
No matter the situation, Steve Young only had two responses:

Run ...
When defenders are rushing you.
When someone challenges you to a race.
When the ice-cream truck is down the street.
When someone flashes a golden bulge at you.

Gun ...
When you're hunting deer.
When you're defending your family from masked robbers.
When you bump into Raiders fans in a dark alley.
When someone puts an ampersand hat on your head.

Man, Steve Young looks young in this photo. Just how young was he?
  • He's still sporting the Garbage Pail Kids haircut his mom let him choose.
  • He's playing for the Salt Lake City High School Buccaneers, a team that won 186 more games than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 1980s.
  • He's still learning how to control the mutant fingers on his right hand.
  • He gets to wear his age for every game. Next season, he's big No. 9. Hooray, Stevie.
  • That's not a towel hanging from his waist; it's his blankie.
