Lot #333:

Steve Grogan Lot of Two (2) Hand Drawn & Signed Football Plays (Beckett/BAS)

football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for sixteen seasons with the New England Patriots. He played college football at Kansas State University and was selected by the Patriots in the fifth round of the 1975 NFL Draft. An agile, durable dual-threat quarterback in an era known for pocket passers, he led the league in both passing and quarterback rushing statistics several times in his career, and ran for a quarterback-record 12 touchdowns in 1976, a record that stood for 35 seasons. Grogan ran for over 500 yards in 1978 and led the team to 3,156 rushing yards, an NFL record that was only eclipsed by the 2019 Baltimore Ravens. He had his statistically best year in 1979, before being hobbled by injuries for much of the 1980s. While he showed moments of brilliance, and continued to be a fan favorite for his tenacious style of play, he would only have one season during the rest of his career, 1983, when he started more than half of his team's games, and would spend the majority of the rest of his career splitting starting time with a number of other quarterbacks. He played in Super Bowl XX, coming off the bench to throw a pass for the only touchdown the Patriots would score on the day. When he retired in 1990, he held many of the team's passing and longevity records. He was inducted into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame in 1995.

Offered here is a pair of 8" x 10" football play sheets, each filled out by the Patriots great and signed by him in black felt tip marker. In excellent condition. Authenticated by Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
