The Minister of Defense appropriately enough applied a biblical verse to this handsome game-worn helmet from 1998 his final year with the Packers after helping to lead a resurgence that has since turned the franchise in a perennial power in the NFC. A defensive end and defensive tackle for 15 NFL seasons during the 1980s and 90s after playing two professional seasons for the Memphis Showboats of the United States Football League (USFL) he was selected in the first round of the 1985 Supplemental Draft and then played for the Philadelphia Eagles Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers becoming one of the most decorated players in NFL history. The two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year 13-time Pro Bowl and 12-time All-Pro selection holds second place all-time among career sack leaders with 198 1/2 (behind Bruce Smith's 200 career sacks) and was selected to the NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team NFL 1990s All-Decade Team and the NFL 1980s All-Decade Team. He won his only Super Bowl ring as a member of the Packers in 1996.
The yellow Riddell size 'L' helmet shows an awesome display of game use starting with two "can't miss" gashes front and center on the shell that have slightly damaged the green and white striped decal. The two Packers logo decals on each side of the shell are in excellent shape. White has added a bold black Sharpie autograph on the top left of the shell with his #92 and the inscription "1 Cor. 13" a bible verse called The Way of Love - one of the more popular readings at Christian wedding ceremonies. The facemask is worn down on the front but remains in tact along with the original chinstrap.
Comes with a letter of authenticity from Warren Moon having been part of Moon's personal collection for years.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
