Bill Bates Autographed Dallas Cowboys Riddell mini helmet JSA

Mint with no smears personally autographed by former Dallas Cowboys fan favorite Bill Bates. Upon graduating from Tennessee in 1982 as a two time second team All SEC selection he made the Cowboys and would play fourteen seasons with them winning three Super Bowls along the way. His inspirational play lifted teammates and fans alike and as a result he was awarded the Bob Lilly award five straight seasons (1990-1993), given annually to the player who represents character and leadership on and off the field.
