Paul McDonald was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 1980 and was used as both the back-up and starter during his six seasons (1980-85) with the team. In 1984 the left-handed passer started all 16 games under center. This is his game-worn helmet from his NFL tenure with the Browns in the early 80's. He is better known for his college days as USC's star quarterback of the late 1970's who led the Trojans to a share of the 1978 National Championship and was named All-America in 1979.

The Riddell size 7 3/8 helmet in classic Browns colors shows excellent game use with black and white tackle marks throughout the orange-brown shell. The white facemask and original chinstrap remain relatively unscathed and perfectly in tact. '1' and '6' decals are stuck to the rear in reference to his #16. His number '16' and 'McDonald' are marked in black on the inside by the left ear-hole. All interior padding is in tact. Overall the helmet comes as issued in appropriate game-used condition.

Includes a Letter of Provenance from The Newport Sports Museum.
