Bring a piece of New England gridiron royalty to your desk, shelf, or display cabinet with this official New England Patriots John Hannah Autographed Throwback Riddell Speed Mini Helmet. Hand-signed in bold, permanent marker across the shell by Pro Football Hall of Famer, 10-time Pro Bowler, 7-time First-Team All-Pro, and NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team member John "Hog" Hannah (#73). Adding top-tier collector value, Hannah hand-wrote his Hall of Fame induction year, "HOF '91," directly alongside his signature.
Dubbed "The Greatest Offensive Lineman of All Time" by Sports Illustrated, John Hannah anchored the Patriots' offensive line for 13 dominant seasons from 1973 to 1985. In 1978, Hannah led a legendary blocking unit that set the all-time NFL single-season team rushing record with 3,165 yards.
