Jim Brown Autographed Authentic Syracuse Throwback Helmet (Steiner COA)

At Syracuse University Jim Brown was All-America in both football and lacrosse and a letterman in basketball. Jim selected football as his career sport however and thus became the Cleveland Browns' number 1 draft pick in 1957. Even though coach Paul Brown was traditionally reluctant to use rookies as regulars Jim Brown was a regular and a star from day one. This authentic full size Syracuse University helmet has been hand signed by Jim Brown. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.
