Rick Tuten Football Cards

It's All About Collecting The U!

With over 525 player alumni and staff from the University of Miami Football program represented, I believe my Hurricanes card collection is the most expansive in existence. It includes players that have been inducted into Hall of Fames through practice squad members and those that merely committed and walked away before the season began. Also represented are head coaches, assistants, and other staff members of the program. Along with traditional football cards, I also count similar flat collectables like pocket schedules and ticket stubs.

The Card Album is my personal collection showcase. I originally designed my first website, CardMagnet.info, from scratch in Microsoft FrontPage and used tables to organize things. The site was updated regularly 2009 to 2021. I’m proud to say that I had regular viewers from around the world, and my content was frequently in the top results on Google’s web and image results. The time came to put some new tools and ideas to use, and so TheCardAlbum.com was born.

About Rick Tuten

Rick Tuten (January 5, 1965 – June 13, 2017) was an American professional football player who was a punter in the National Football League (NFL), primarily with the Seattle Seahawks. He punted the ball 108 times in 1992, tied for fourth-most in a season in NFL history.[1] In 1992, he punted for 4,760 yards with an average of 44.1 yards per punt. In 1994, the year he went to his only Pro Bowl, he punted the ball 91 times for 3,905 yards, an average of 42.9 yards per punt, and also scored a two-point conversion, the only scored points of his career. Tuten also received a ring as a member of the St. Louis Rams‘ Super Bowl championship team. However, he did not play in the game itself due to injury.

While with the Seattle Seahawks in 1998, he won the designation as the league’s strongest man pound-for-pound in Flex magazine.

He has a daughter named Ryan, who married Buffalo Bills Kicker Tyler Bass on March 15, 2024, in Ocala, FL. He also has a son named Chase.

While on vacation with his wife in Costa Rica in 2017, Tuten unexpectedly died at age 52.[2][3]
