Two Hanger Boxes of Topps Football

I haven't gotten cards in a while. I blame this on school, and marching band, and the Cowboys. But either way, today I got two hanger boxes of football, because I feel like I haven't had enough Topps. Nevertheless, I bit in.

Box 1-
346- Bills team card. Always promising to start with a team card.
345- Jeremy Maclin, the sadly injured wide receiver.
310- Ben Roethlisberger, whose team is playing pretty badly so far.
369- Patriots
252- Chris Givens
275- Steven Jackson, photoshopped into a Falcons uni
177- Chris 'Not Clarence' Clemons
116- Brandon Browner
342- Ryan Kerrigan

280- Russell Wilson
325- Roddy White
364- Trent Cole

8- Antonio Brown GOLD #'D TO 2013. Glad it's someone I've heard of.
Gridiron Legends of Lawrence Taylor. Great player, awful human being.
Matthew Stafford 4000 Yard Club, which is awesome.
Sam Bradford '60 mini. I love these, and I'm probably collecting them.

Jason Witten 1000 Yard Club
Legends in the Making of Aaron Rodgers, who's already a legend for replacing Brett Favre and NOT being awful.

276- Daniel Thomas
237- Dolphins team card. One of the few moments of glory depicted
