1967 Don Trull Houston Oilers Football Card Topps No. 45 in Excellent Condition, See Photos. Donald "Don" Trull was a notable quarterback for the Houston Oilers in the American Football League (AFL) during the mid-1960s. An All-American standout from Baylor University, where he twice led the nation in passing, Trull joined the Oilers in 1964. He made an immediate impact, earning AFL Rookie of the Year honors (sharing the award with Billy Joe of the Denver Broncos) after a promising first season where he showcased his passing prowess. However, his tenure with the Oilers, which lasted until 1966 before he was traded to the Boston Patriots in 1967 and later returned to Houston for a brief period, was marked by both initial success and subsequent challenges, including injuries and competition for the starting quarterback position. Despite the ups and downs, Trull remains a significant figure from the Oilers' AFL days, remembered for his strong arm and early contributions to the team.
