Cade Mcnown was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. From an early age, he was involved in sports and developed a love for the game of football. He began playing for a college team in 1995 and his career soon took off. After spending several seasons playing for UCLA as a quarterback and a safety, scouts began taking notice. The Chicago Bears drafted him to play for their team in 1999. At over six feet tall, and weighing in at over 200 pounds, he was a solid player. His professional career was perhaps cut a bit short, due to a shoulder injury that he suffered. A separated shoulder on his left side caused his performance on the field to suffer, and he ended up sitting out many games. The injury occurred during a game that the Bears played against the Philadelphia Eagles at the Veteran's Stadium. The field in Philadelphia had a reputation for being uncomfortable for players. During the game on October 22, Cade was running up against the Eagles defense and was brought down by Mike Caldwell, the linebacker. His shoulder was slammed so hard onto the turf, that his shoulder separated, and it was his throwing shoulder. This type of injury requires physical therapy in most cases. It can be painful, and should be treated promptly by a doctor. Luckily for Cade, his rotator cuff was not damaged. He had to wear a sling and follow doctor's orders in order to heal. During his brief professional career in football, he made a total of sixteen touchdowns. The separated shoulder injury caused him a great deal of trouble over the years, eventually requiring surgery. He did enjoy a few good seasons playing in the many great stadiums across the country. Today it is possible to find many kinds of memorabilia for this particular pro football player. Even signed and autographed collectibles are available for sale. Trading cards are on of the most popular items that sports fans will collect, in addition to signed jerseys, balls and other gear. For anyone who is a fan of professional American football, there are many players to get to know in greater detail. There are many statistics to sort through.

Cade Mcnown enjoyed a short, but good, career with the Chicago Bears, so memorabilia bearing his image is certainly worth collecting.
