Wood…that be John Elway #7 in the 2025 senior bowl, on the double reverse flea flicker keeping his feet in bounds, in the end zone, after catching a 60 yard pass for the winning touchdown?

Love the pig skin (front view) fun piece, nice work.

This could be "one for the gipper" by the style of the old leather helmet.I like the touch of the pig skin w/a face.Nice origonality.

no sir buddy them is silver britches on that boy. if it was for the team you are thinking about it would be painted with prison stripes because we all now that that team gets its players from the county jail.
