Roman Gabriel enjoyed an outstanding college career at North Carolina State before taking his talents to the NFL. Gabriel had an NFL career that spanned 16 seasons, eleven of those with the Los Angeles Rams. He was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player in 1969 and earned Pro Bowl nods in 1967-69, and 1973 when he led the league in passing yards (3,219) for the Philadelphia Eagles. He still holds the Rams franchise record for career touchdown passes (154) and is third in passing yards (22,223). Gabriel is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame and many believe he is the biggest snub from the NFL Hall of Fame. Offered is Gabriel’s last Rams jersey and was obtained directly from him. On the front left tail is the Sand-Knit manufacturers tag size “48” with washing instructions. Adjacent above is the “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the Los Angeles Rams” tag. Across the front, back and on both sleeves is the player number “18” painted in blue. Across the back on a white nameplate is the player name “GABRIEL” in blue tackle twill. Gabriel signed the back of the jersey in black marker with the added inscription “1972 LA Rams” and in our opinion the signature rates a near 9. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use. Accompanied by a Photo-Match.com LOA confirming the match and a Gabriel LOA.
