I recently purchased this 2012 Tennessee Titans game-used jersey of Taylor Thompson, who was a tight end and special teams player.

This jersey is extremely jacked up, as it features multiple repairs, rips, and paint transfers. I’ve photomatched this jersey to 5 games from that season but what drew me to this jersey is that Thompson wore it in his NFL debut, and I love collecting jerseys that were meaningful in a player’s career.

Thompson played three seasons in the NFL, got a master’s degree, then started a home remodeling business. Not too shabby.
