You've got some good ideas. One thing you may want to work on a little in both the LaMont Jordan and the Routt/Washington pieces is to try and use some blending techniques. The images on the Jordan one looks as if he is just sitting on top of the background instead of being a part of the background/composition.

And the Routt/Washington one, if you're going to use cutouts of the players I would suggest using the the "PEN TOOL" in photoshop. The edges in your piece look jagged and needs to be corrected. Also, I wouldn't necessarilly use a "stroke" around the two CB's. Because the background uses somewhat blurred and soft effects, the strong white "stroke" looks out of place. It's okay to use different textures within a composition, but keep in mind that they must compliment each other.

For help with different blending techniques, feel free to ask myself or some of the other designers like Nexx and Guru by way of PM.

The last super one is very disturbing I would get rid of that one there is only one Jesus Christ. That one will give us bad luck for sure.
