1975 Topps Football 61 (Bill Lenkaitis Patriots)

It's 2015 2016 and the Patriots are the AFC's first seed.

Back in 1975 things weren't as rosy. Patriots QB, Jim Plunkett was injured and they finished the season 3-10.

Below is 11-year Patriots veteran, Bill Lenkaitis.

What I Like About this Card: It's got a minimalist design that doesn't feel dated. I also like the football field look on the back. It's a good posted shot of Bill.

Fun Facts:  Bill graduated from dental school, was the Patriots' team dentist and he continued a dental practice after he retired from football (he played for the Patriots from 1971 to 1981).

Random Thoughts: Like on the 1971 cards, Topps felt they should tell you which league the team belonged to.
