I just signed up yesterday and I find the site to be extremely interesting with a lot of great topics but rather confusing for a new member to navigate around. I am not new to message boards but this one is so large and detailed. I am looking for help in locating patterns for football players. I don't see alot of them done by carvers. Thanks.

Hello and welcome, I don’t have any specific information on a football player pattern but have you checked “Google Images”?
