📣 DAD’S TAKEON LEIGHTON VANDER ESCH
Second-year Contenders cards occupy peculiar territory in the hobby timeline. Vander Esch's explosive 2018 debut convinced collectors they'd found the next great Cowboys linebacker, so 2019 product flew off shelves despite his injury-shortened sophomore season. The base Contenders issue lacks the autograph premium that defines this brand's appeal, leaving you with a straightforward card of a player whose career arc was already bending toward fragility rather than stardom.
ABOUT LEIGHTON VANDER ESCH
Leighton Vander Esch played college football for the Boise State Broncos, and was selected by the Cowboys in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft. A first-round pick in 2018, Vander Esch set a Cowboys' rookie record with 176 tackles and was named to the Pro Bowl. He spent six seasons with the team, earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors in his rookie season before neck injuries prematurely ended his playing career. Vander Esch's health troubles led the Cowboys to decline his fifth-year option, and after signing a one-year deal to return in 2022, another injury cost him four games. A year later, yet another neck issue would cost him all but five contests in the 2023 season. Linebacker Leighton Vander Esch announced Monday that he is retiring from the NFL at age 28 after a six-year career.
This 2019 Contenders base card captures Vander Esch during his second NFL season, a year marked by injury challenges that began limiting his availability after his standout rookie campaign.
