2002 Upper Deck Star Rookies First Class Joey Harrington Tayshaun Prince #267 Detroit Pistons Detroit Lions

Joey Harrington was selected 3rd overall by the Detroit Lions in the 2003 NFL Draft, becoming the franchise's first overall pick at quarterback in over two decades. His rookie season showed promise with solid arm talent and mobility, though he faced the challenges of developing behind a rebuilding offensive line. Harrington's tenure with Detroit was marked by inconsistency, but he demonstrated the work ethic and intelligence expected of a high draft pick before eventually moving on to other NFL teams. Tayshaun Prince was drafted 23rd overall by the Detroit Pistons in 2002, immediately contributing to one of the NBA's most dominant defensive teams. His length, athleticism, and versatility made him a cornerstone of the Pistons' 2004 championship squad. Prince's career with Detroit spanned over a decade, during which he became known for his lockdown perimeter defense, basketball IQ, and ability to guard multiple positions. He earned All-Star recognition and helped establish the Pistons as a defensive powerhouse throughout the 2000s. This 2002 Upper Deck Star Rookies First Class card #267 captures both athletes at the beginning of their professional journeys—a significant piece documenting two Detroit legends and their impact on their respective sports.
