The godfather of nose tackles, Curly Culp was a formidable sight on the interior line for the Houston Oilers and Detroit Lions. The six-time Pro Bowler finished his career with the Lions in '81. The player number "77" appears on the front, back, and on each sleeve of the jersey, and has been screened on in grey and white. On the back on a blue mesh nameplate is the player name "Culp" done in white tackle twill. There are team repairs on the front shoulders and front of the jersey. There is an autograph on the front. The helmet is grey and has the "Lions" logo sticker on both sides. The player number "77" is on the back on blue stickers. The helmet has been manufactured by "Bike." Both the helmet and jersey show excellent game use. The jersey is accompanied by a letter from PSA/DNA.
