Lyle Alzado Football Cards
The 1971 4th round pick form Yankton had an impressive rookie season but no Topps card his first year in the league. In 1972 Topps awarded him one and it wasn't for no reason. Led the Broncos with 12 sacks. Racked up 45 solo tackles as well.
His 1974 Topps card - unofficially registered 13 sacks.
While this 1975 Topps card proclaims the Vikings Carl Eller and Broncos Lyle Alzado as All Pros from the 1974 season, neither player was actually bestowed with the honor. Carl Eller did make the 2nd-team Pro Bowl though and Alzado was unofficially credited with 9 sacks.
