About John Lynch

John Lynch was one of those safeties who could absolutely change the momentum of a game when Tampa Bay needed it most. They called him "The Closer" because he had this incredible ability to come up with the big interception right when the Bucs were in a tight spot, especially in those crucial fourth quarter moments. The guy made it to the Hall of Fame for a reason, and his cards have really picked up steam since his induction. You'll want to focus on his early Tampa Bay cards since he doesn't have true rookies, and keep an eye out for any numbered parallels or autographed versions.

Lynch earned the nickname "The Closer" in Tampa due to his knack for making his biggest plays when it was all on the line. The Hall of Fame safety had his biggest plays when it was all on the line. The Hall of Fame safety had 26 career interceptions. Fourteen of those came in the fourth quarter, and 11 of those 14 happened with the score within seven points in either direction.

Dad’s Take on John Lynch

Look at this guy posing like he's running to catch the ice cream truck! "The Closer" my foot – the only thing he's closing is the gap between him and the nearest hot dog stand with that leisurely jog. And what's with that helmet sitting on his head like a oversized bowl? Back in my day, safeties looked like they could actually tackle someone, not like they were out for their morning power walk!
