📣 DAD’S TAKEON SHAWNE MERRIMAN

A 2026 release memorializing a 2006 season is the kind of timeline that makes zero sense until you realize Donruss loves digging through two-decade-old highlight reels. The Cosmos parallel treatment at least acknowledges that Merriman's prime burned bright and fast, even if the actual card arrives a generation late. One card for a guy who logged 39.5 sacks in three years before injuries derailed everything feels like bare minimum recognition.

ABOUT SHAWNE MERRIMAN

Shawne Merriman was selected 12th overall by the San Diego Chargers in the 2005 NFL Draft out of the University of Maryland. In his rookie season, he recorded an impressive 10 sacks and was named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. In 2006, he recorded 17.5 sacks in 12 games, earning First-team All-Pro honors. He was a three-time Pro Bowl and All-Pro selection in his first three seasons with the Chargers, establishing himself as one of the league's most dominant pass rushers.

The collection features a 2026 Donruss Cosmos parallel card commemorating Merriman's stellar 2006 campaign. He was hampered by injuries his next three seasons, and the Chargers waived Merriman midseason in 2010. Merriman played 8 seasons for the Chargers and Bills, finishing with 45.5 sacks and 258 combined tackles.
