Perry Williams played 12 seasons as a very underrated corner back for the great Bill Parcells-lead Giants team. He was a starter on two winning Super Bowl teams. Perry retires after the 1993 season, never playing for another team. Impressively defying the "dumb jock" stereotype, Perry has worked for Farleigh-Dickinson University since 1995 as an administrative director and as an adjunct professor. He also moonlights as a motivational speaker. Interestingly, I found an interview in which he says he hasn't watched an NFL game since he retired.
This card was from a couple of packs of 1989 Pro Set that I bought on a whim a few years ago. I never send my cards in a protective top loader because, quite honestly, I don't care about condition that much. Perry, however, was kind enough to put the card in his own protective sleeve to send it back. Nice gesture!
