Donruss Talks Football and Trading Cards with #1 Draft Pick Jake Long
By The Cardboard Connection Nov 13, 2008 |
In the days leading up to this year's NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins announced that they had agreed to terms with offensive lineman Jake Long, thus sealing Long's fate as the 1st overall pick of the 2008 NFL Draft. The Dolphins were so confident that Jake Long was their guy, they signed him days before the Draft officially began.
After going 1-15 last season, the Dolphins have turned things around and started the season 5-4. The improved Miami offense has been anchored by the line, with Long starting every game so far this season.
Long started 40 games during his college days and served as a two-time captain (one of only 11 players in Michigan history to have been given that honor). He was named Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2006 and again in 2007. He finished second last year in balloting for both the Lombardi and Outland trophies.
Donruss recently interviewed the former Michigan alum (see below). Topics of the interview include football and collecting trading cards.
