From the streets of Detroit to the golden helmets of Notre Dame — from the Rams’ rookie sensation to the heart of the Pittsburgh Steelers — Jerome Bettis was more than a running back. He was a paradox in motion. A 250-pound freight train with the feet of a ballerina.

This episode of Cardboard Credentials dives deep into The Force and the Finesse of Jerome Bettis, told through his 1993 SkyBox Impact rookie card — a time capsule of raw power, grace, and destiny. Follow his journey through early dominance, reinvention, and redemption as The Bus rolls from promise to purpose, culminating in a storybook finish back home in Detroit.

Every card has a story.
This one carries a city, a legacy, and the sound of an engine that never stopped running.
