1974 Rocky Bleier Whizzer White Award

<p>Unbelievably rare 1974 Whizzer White award presented to Rocky Bleier on June 22, 1975 by the NFLPA. The piece measures 18" high by 10" wide at its widest and is in generally excellent condition with some minor wear to the award figure. Piece comes with photo of Rocky Bleier receiving the award. The award is the highest honor that the NFLPA can bestow upon a player. It has been awarded annually since 1967 and is given to the player deemed to be as dedicated off the field as he is on the field through community service. The award is named after Supreme Court justice and ex-NFL player Byron "Whizzer" White. An extremely rare and unique piece to add to your collection.</p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">It is always nice when an athlete makes a collection available to the public. As a collecting community, we are grateful for the opportunity to acquire rare and unique items from an athlete&rsquo;s career. This one is extra special! For the first time, Rocky Bleier has made available his vast collection of memorabilia. Rocky is much more than an athlete. He is an American sports icon and hero.
