I think what’s really important here is that if he does get a card he better have his shirt on.

Is Luke Kuechly a hall of famer? Is Andrew Luck a hall of famer? I don't think either is and both got tributes. Vernon is not in contention for the hall of fame. But he had a solid long career. I won't mind if he doesn't get one, but I don't think it is out of the question.

 No Gore is not "like this." Gore is a Hall of Famer who passed Barry Sanders in career yards this year.  He's top 3 now.

 soooooooooooooo 7,5000 + Receiving yards and 60 + Touchdowns AND a SB ring is considered a disappointing career among Tight Ends???

Interesting. 

Not Saying the guy was on Gonzo, Sharpe, or even Gronks level. But I wouldn't say that he had a disappointing career.

Lmao is Shockey really who you’re going with while trying to diss people? That’s rich

I doubt he’ll get a tribute card, but I’m guessing he’ll get a nice card during the combine promo that can serve as a tribute card for those who want it. Oh, and you can get the PU for him sometime in early June (weather permitting PF course)

He had a nice career.  But was he ever a true top 5 TE in the league at any point in his career?  Looked it up, 2009 was the only year he even sniffed the top 5 for TEs.

He never topped 1k yards in a season.  His best year in 2009, he was barely top 5 in TE stats behind Dallas Clark, Witten, Tony G, and Antonio Gates.  2009 is also the only year he every had more than 70 receptions in a season.

IMHO, this isn't the type of guy who gets a Tribute card when he retires...

I’d like one but I don’t see it happening
