About Andrew Van Ginkel

Andrew Van Ginkel is a linebacker who's been making his mark in the NFL, now suiting up for the Minnesota Vikings. He's one of those versatile defensive players who can rush the passer and cover in space, the kind of guy coaches love to have on the field. Van Ginkel has built a solid reputation as a reliable contributor on defense, and his cards have been gaining some traction with collectors who appreciate undervalued defensive players. Since he doesn't have traditional rookie cards from his first year, his early base cards and inserts from subsequent seasons are what collectors focus on. Look for his numbered parallels and autographed versions, which tend to hold their value better than the base cards.

Dad’s Take on Andrew Van Ginkel

Look at this guy posing like he's about to tackle his own shadow – Andrew Van Ginkel looks like the kind of player who'd get lost in his own secondary coverage. Sure, he had one fancy pick-six in London, but standing there in that Vikings uniform like a discount store Thor, I bet he still needs GPS to find the end zone. Kid's got the stance of someone who just remembered he left the oven on at home!
