Troy
Aikman
$249
Dallas
Cowboys QB Troy Aikman may not have been the flashiest of QB's,
but he certainly was one of the winningest to have played the
game. Not only was he the winning quarterback in Super Bowls XXVII,
XXVIII, and XXX (one of only three starting quarterbacks in NFL
history with at least three Super Bowl victories), but he was
also the winningest QB of any decade in NFL history - 90 victories
in the 90's (Joe Montana had 86 in the 80's and Roger Staubach
had 84 in the 70's). The Most Valuable Player in Super Bowl XXVII,
Troy led the Cowboys to six NFC East titles and, at the time of
his retirement, boasted the 4th highest completion percentage
of all-time. At UCLA, he finished his college career as the third-highest
rated passer in NCAA history. This great hand-signed photograph
shows Troy in action for "America's Team." Sports Gallery

Seattle Seahawks RB Shaun Alexander is
perhaps the most dominating offensive player in the NFL today.
The Florence, Kentucky native attended the University of Alabama
were he recorded the Alabama single-game rushing record as a
freshman (291 yards against LSU) and holds the school career
rushing record with 3,565 yards in four seasons. Drafted by
the Seahawks with the 19th pick of the 2000 NFL Draft, Alexander
really started to turn heads the following year. In a game played
on October 11, 2001 against the Oakland Raiders, he rushed for
a franchise record 266 yards on 35 carries. That year he also
led the NFL in rushing touchdowns with 14. In 2003, Alexander
rushed his way to 1,435 yards and scored 16 touchdowns. Seattle
also made its first playoff appearance since 2000. Alexander's
success in the 2003 season earned him his first trip to Honolulu
for the annual Pro Bowl. But 2005 was Alexander's breakout season
as one of the NFL's elite players. How's this for a season:
Rushed
for 1,880 yards-more than the total for 20 NFL teams.
Scored
28 touchdowns, an NFL single-season record.
Scored
168 points, second most in league history behind Paul Hornung's
176 in 1960.
Became the first player to score at least 15 TDs in five consecutive
seasons.
Won
the NFL MVP.
Oh...and led Seattle to their first Super Bowl appearance in
team history. An amazing season. Because of all his success
he has been nicknamed "The Franchise"
by his fellow players. This terrific hand-signed 16x20 action
shot of Shaun is Sports Gallery Quality

Shaun became the first Seahawk player to appear on

Jerome
Bettis new!
$189
Pittsburgh
RB Jerome Abram "The Bus" Bettis was born on February
16, 1972 in Detroit, Michigan. Considered on of the best...if
not THE best..."Big Back" of his era, Bettis played
his collegiate ball at Notre Dame and was the Offensive Rookie
of the Year for the Los Angeles Rams who drafted him in the first
round of 1993 NFL draft. Traded to the Steelers in 1996, Bettis
career took off in Steel Town. Fifth on the all-time NFL rushing
list, Bettis was an integral part of the Steeler offense for almost
a decade. A dependable 1,000 yard rusher, Bettis was named to
the Pro Bowl in 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2001 and 2004. In
2002, Bettis was the recipient of the Walter Payton Man of the
Year Award. But the 2005 season was truly the "Year
of the Bus." After the Steelers defeat in the 2004
AFC Championship Game, Bettis hinted that he was considering retirement.
Word is that QB Ben Roethlisberger promised Bettis that if he
came back for one last season, he would get him to the Super Bowl.
Jerome just couldn't pass up the chance to play in Super Bowl
XL in his hometown of Detroit and agreed to come back for one
last season. Good choice. Of course, the Steelers went on to not
only play in Super Bowl XL but win it against the Seattle Seahawks.
After the game Bettis announced to the crowd "I'm
a champion now, and I think the Bus's last stop is here in Detroit."

Although
he was an All-American end at Florida State in 1964, many professional
scouts doubted that Fred would make it in the NFL because he lacked
speed. But, Biletnikoff parlayed hard work, precise pass routes,
and great hands into a Hall of Fame career with the Oakland Raiders.
Coach John Madden called him "one of the most dedicated athletes
I have ever seen." In Super Bowl XI, Biletnikoff was named
MVP in Oakland's 32-14 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Fred retired
after the 1978 season. He had 589 career receptions for 8,974
yards and 76 touchdowns. Fred's trademark was large gobs of a
gooey substance known as "stickum" which he smeared
on his socks so he could apply some to his fingers before each
play.

There can be no doubt that Tom Brady is one of the best QB's in
the game today...if not THE
best. He certainly is the most successful. In 2001 he led the
Patriots to their surprising Super Bowl XXXVI win over the heavily-favored
Los Angeles Rams. He was named the Most Valuable Player of that
game as well as being voted to the 2001 Pro Bowl. Then he did
it all over again in 2003/2004 when he led the Pats over the Carolina
Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII, again winning the MVP Award for
the game. And...yawn...he did the same in '05 leading the Pats
to victory over the Eagles in Super Bowl XXXVIV. Three Super Bowl
Victories and Two Super Bowl MVP's in four years. And you got
to like Tom and the Pat's chances just about every season as they
have become THE dynasty in professional
football. Move over Joe Montana and the Team
of the Decade! Move over Joe Montana! This terrific photograph

New
England QB Tom Brady and REC Randy Moss became one of the greatest
quarterback/receiver tandems in football history during 2007/08
season. Together they not only led New England to an undefeated
regular season but they also both set single-season records for
touchdowns...on the same play. On December 29, during the fourth
quarter of the Patriots thrilling 38-35 victory over the NY Giants,
Tom Brady and Randy Moss set single-season records for touchdown
passes and TD catches, respectively, when they combined on a 65-yard
scoring pass. The play gave Brady 50 TD passes for the season,
breaking Peyton Manning's 2004 record of 49 and Moss 23 catches,
breaking the 1987 mark of Jerry Rice. And it gave the Patriots
the first perfect regular season since the 1972 Miami Dolphins.

Francisco 49ers QB John Brodie was born in San Francisco, California.
He went on to attend Stanford University, where he was selected
as a consensus All-American in 1956. He first appeared with the
49ers as a rookie in 1957 but got more playing time in 1958 through
1960, sharing time with the great Y.A.
Tittle. John became the Niners starting QB in 1961,
a position held through 1973.
Throughout the 1960's, he was among the leading passers in the
league with his best statistical year coming in 1965 when he led
the League in passing average (3,112 yards) and touchdowns (30).
He appeared in the Pro Bowl in 1965 and 1970 and won the NFL MVP

Despite
leaving a year early to test the NFL waters, Reggie Bush still
managed to have quite a collegiate career at the University of
Southern California. During his freshman year in 2003, Reggie
set a USC record with his 1,331 all-purpose yards. The next season
Reggie finished fifth in the voting for the Heisman Trophy, was
named the team's MVP, earned consensus All-American honors and
was a finalist for the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award. He
also became the first Trojan since Marcus Allen to lead the Pac-10
in all-purpose yardage, totaling 2,330 yards. And, of course,
in 2005 he simply dominated college football. Bush was a unanimous
All-American first-team pick and the winner of the Heisman Trophy.
He was named the Associated Press Player of the Year, Pigskin
Club of Washington D.C. Offensive Player of the Year, Touchdown
Club of Columbus Player of the Year and was the recipient of the
Walter Camp Player of the Year Award and Doak Walker Award (nation's
best running back). He led the nation with an average of 222.3

2004 Heisman trophy winner, was equally spectacular at the Quarterback
position. He finished his USC career throwing 807/1245 (64.8%)
for 10,693 yards and 99 touchdowns. He is USC's all-time leader
in career touchdown passes and completion percentage. And the
two shared a famous play in college football. On Oct 15, 2005,
USC won their 28th straight victory against the ninth ranked Fighting
Irish of Notre Dame in one of the more thrilling games of that
season. With just 3 seconds on the clock, Leinart pushed and spun
his way into the end zone, with a helpful nudge from Reggie, capping
the 34-31 victory for the Trojans! This classic photograph shows

Dick
Butkus, a Chicago native and two-time Illinois All-America, possessed
a desire to excel that few have ever equaled. He played as the
Chicago Bears' middle linebacker for nine years with only one
goal in mind – to be the best. And from the very start, he
was just that. In his rookie season, Butkus, a first-round draft
choice had only one challenger for National Football League Rookie
of the Year honors, teammate Gale Sayers. That same year Butkus
was named first-team All-NFL, an honor he would record five more
times. Butkus also played in the Pro Bowl following his rookie
season and in each of the next seven years. A Chicago Bears classic,
Butkus was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1979, his
first year of eligibility. This hand-signed vintage photograph
of Dick in action perfectly captures his intensity on the field.

Most
refer to this infamous 1978 play as the "Holy
Roller." In San Diego, however, they still call it
the "Immaculate Deception."
Whatever its name, this miraculous play is definitely one of the
more memorable touchdowns in Oakland Raiders history. Trailing
20-14 with 10 seconds left in the game the Raiders had possession
of the ball at the Chargers 14-yard line. Raiders quarterback
Ken Stabler took the snap and quickly found himself
about to be sacked by Chargers linebacker Woody Lowe. Stabler
lost the ball, and it rolled forward towards the San Diego goal
line. Running back Pete Banaszak tried to recover the ball on
the 12-yard line, but could not keep his footing, and the ball
was pushed even closer to the end zone. Raiders legendary tight
end Dave Casper was the next player to reach the ball but he also
could not get a handle on it. He batted and kicked the ball into
the end zone, where he fell on it for the game-tying touchdown
as time ran out. The Raiders won, 21-20, with the ensuing extra
point by place-kicker Errol Mann. The game officials ruled that
Banaszak and Casper's actions were legal because it was impossible
to determine if they intentionally batted the ball forward, a
penalty. The NFL also backed up referee's call that Stabler fumbled
the ball instead of throwing a forward pass. However, when asked
after the game by radio announcer Bill King if he intentionally
fumbled, Stabler said, "You bet
your ass I did." Banaszak and Casper also admitted
that they deliberately batted the ball towards the end zone. This
classic shot of a classic moment in Raiders history is hand-signed
by Dave Casper and Sports Gallery Quality
Framed. An absolute must for any member of the Raider
Nation. [why

Thanks
to the Holy Roller, in 1979 the NFL passed new rules
restricting fumble recoveries by the offense. Rules
against illegally batting the ball were strengthened
and a fumble in the final two minutes of a game, or
on fourth down at any time in the game, could no longer
be advanced by the offense beyond the spot of the
fumble unless the player who fumbled recovers the
ball.
THE
SUPER CATCH
Dwight Clark's Touchdown
Beats Dallas
So
says the cover of the January 18th, 1982 edition of Sports Illustrated.
Dwight
Clark's "Super Catch" was made possible by QB Joe
Montana's equally super throw. A scrambing Montana lofted the
ball to the back of the end zone where Clark came seemingly
out of nowhere to make the remarkable grab, known today simply
as "The Catch."
The Catch gave the 49ers a 28-27 victory over Dallas for the
1981 NFC championship and is considered by many to be one of
the greatest catches in NFL history. This very cool digital
copy of the Sports Illustrated cover celebrates this very cool
moment in 49er's history. And during Dwight's
visit to Sports Gallery Carmel he signed a limited
number of these SI Cover Photographs for Sports Gallery. Framed
in thick black wood and Niners red and gold matting, this is
a special collectible. A terrific gift for any longtime Niners

"The Catch" 8x10 Display
(signed & unsigned)
Born
in Kinston, North Carolina, Pro Bowl wide receiver Dwight Clark
played his college football at Clemson University before being
drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the 10th round of the
1979 Draft. Clark embarked on a great career with the Niners,
finishing with 506 catches for 6750 yards and 48 touchdowns.
Clark's most memorable touchdown came in the 1982 NFC Playoffs.
On January 11, 1982, against the Dallas Cowboys, the San Francisco
49ers were trailing 27-21 in the final minute of play to advance
to the Super Bowl. Clark made a leaping catch of a desperation
pass from quarterback Joe Montana in the back of the end zone
to give the 49ers a 28-27 victory. That play is one of the most
famous in the history in the NFL and has been immortalized in
football lore as The Catch.
Clark was a member of two Super Bowl winning clubs. His number
87 has been retired by the 49ers. This Sports
Gallery Exclusive is available
with both signed and unsigned photographs. Both include
the classic photograph of "The Catch," replica ticket
from the game, and descriptive plaque. A great collectible from
one of the great moments in 49ers football history.

in Kinston, North Carolina, Pro Bowl wide receiver Dwight Clark
played his college football at Clemson University before being
drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the 10th round of the
1979 Draft. Clark embarked on a great career with the Niners,
finishing with 506 catches for 6750 yards and 48 touchdowns.
Clark's most memorable touchdown came in the 1982 NFC Playoffs.
On January 11, 1982, against the Dallas Cowboys, the San Francisco
49ers were trailing 27-21 in the final minute of play to advance
to the Super Bowl. Clark made a leaping catch of a desperation
pass from quarterback Joe Montana in the back of the end zone
to give the 49ers a 28-27 victory. That play is one of the most
famous in the history in the NFL and has been immortalized in
football lore as The Catch.
Clark was a member of two Super Bowl winning clubs. His number
87 has been retired by the 49ers. Dwight signed a limited number
of 16x20's of this split photograph of both "The
Throw" and "The
Catch" at his recent
in-store appearance at Sports Gallery Carmel. Quality
framed in thick black wood, UV-protective glass and Niners double-matting,
this is a great collectible from a great moment in Niners history.
And thanks to our private signing, it is a Great
Buy! [why

Same
great split-view photograph as above
but this time in a 16x20 size. Montana's heroic throw and Clark's
remarkable catch are even more dramatic in this larger size
and the Sports Gallery quality framing beautifully compliments
the piece. Hand-signed by Dwight during his recent
in-store appearance at Sports Gallery Carmel, the
photograph is framed in thick black wood, UV-protective glass
and classic 49ers matting. A great collectible from arguably
the greatest catch in 49ers history and a beautiful addition
to any office or den. [why

QB
Joe Montana's famous throw to WR Dwight Clark is known simply
as "The Catch" in
49er lore. A scrambling Montana lofted the ball to the back of
the end zone where Clark came seemingly out of nowhere to make
the remarkable grab. The Catch gave the 49ers a 28-27 victory
over Dallas for the 1981 NFC championship and is considered by
many to be one of the greatest catches in NFL history. This vintage
black & white photograph captures this historic 49ers moment
in all its glory. A limited number of 16x20's were signed by Clark
in silver sharpie during Dwight's
visit to Sports Gallery Carmel. Handsomely framed in
thick black wood and charcoal matting, this is a classic remembrance
of a classic moment in 49ers history. A great gift for any Niners
fan. Act fast, however,
as we only have a few 16x20's left. [why

San
Francisco RB Roger Craig was one of the most versatile running
backs in recent memory. At Nebraska, Craig played both I-back
and fullback in the early 1980s, rushing for 2,446 yards to
rank ninth on NU's all-time charts. A second-round draft pick
of the San Francisco 49ers, Craig starred in the NFL with the
49ers and later the Los Angeles Raiders and Minnesota Vikings
until his retirement in 1994. Craig became the first player
in NFL history to gain 1,000 yards both rushing and receiving,
rushing for 1,050 yards and catching 92 passes for 1,016 yards
in 1985. An important member of three 49ers Super Bowl Championship
teams, Craig recently visited
Sports Gallery Carmel for an exclusive signing. While
there, Roger signed this terrific photograph of himself taking
it upfield against the Vikings. Roger also included the special/rare
inscription "3x SB Champs."
Quality framed in thick black wood, UV-protective glass and
classic double-matting, this a great collectible from the greatest
years in 49er football history. [why

Roger
Craig was a great NFL running back. He led the 49ers in rushing
and receiving three times each and the entire NFL in receptions
in 1985. That year he also became the first player in NFL history
to gain over 1,000 yards in BOTH
rushing and receiving in a single season. And when it comes
to Championships Craig excelled there too, winning three rings
while with the 49ers. He even set a Super Bowl record with three
TD's in Super Bowl XIX. But what really distinguished Roger
from other RB's was the graceful yet punishing way in which
he ran. Any Niner fan can close their eyes and see Roger Craig's
trademark "high knee action" running style flatten
or elude an opponent (or three) en route to the end zone. Likewise
emblazoned on our collective memories is the sight of Roger
swinging into the flat, catching a Montana pass with the elegance
of a dancer then turning upfield, knees churning, eyes wide...
completing the signature play of the "West Coast"
offense with near perfection. Roger Craig, during his prime,
was poetry in motion AND a load of bricks when he hit you...
This great photograph of Roger is one of his personal favorites
and catches his patented "High Knee Action" running
style perfectly. Quality framed in thick black wood, UV-protective
glass and classic Niners double matting, Roger signed this classic
photograph during his recent Signing
at Sports Gallery Carmel. [why

So
says the cover of the January 28, 1985 Sports Illustrated right
below a photograph of Roger Craig's touchdown run. That day,
the San Francisco 49ers captured their second Super Bowl title
with a dominating offense and a defense that tamed Miami's explosive
passing attack. Final Score: 49ers 38 Dolphins 16. SF Running
back Roger Craig set a Super Bowl record by scoring three touchdowns
on pass receptions of eight and 16 yards and a run of two yards.
The only thing that kept him from certain Super Bowl MVP honors
was a player named Joe
Montana, who threw for a then Super Bowl record of
331 yards and three touchdowns (he also ran for another). Thanks
to Roger and Joe, San Francisco's 537 total net yards bettered
the previous Super Bowl record by more than 100 yards. The game
was also noteworthy for its location: Stanford Stadium in Stanford,
California. Not your typical Super Bowl venue. Roger hand-signed
this digital copy of that memorable Sports Illustrated cover
during his recent visit
to Sports Gallery Carmel, along with the special
inscription "3 - TD's" for the record number of touchdowns
he scored that day. Quality framed in thick black wood, UV-protective
glass, and classic double matting this is a great remembrance
of one of the 49ers most impressive Super Bowl performances.
A GREAT gift for any Niners fan. [why

San Francisco 49ers Great Roger Craig joined the Niners as a
second-round draft choice in 1983 out of the University of Nebraska.
During his storied 49ers career he quietly became a key ingredient
of the vaunted San Francisco offense of the 1980's. The
6-foot, 219-pound running back set an NFL record for a running
back with 92 pass receptions in 1985, gaining 1,016 yards. He
also became the first player in history to gain more than 1,000
yards receiving and more than 1,000 yards rushing in a single
season. Craig was named the NFC's Offensive Player of the Year
by United Press International in 1988, when he rushed for 1,502
yards and caught 76 passes for 534 yards. An
All-NFL choice in 1988 and a four-time Pro-Bowler, Roger scored
3 touchdowns when San Francisco beat the Miami Dolphins 38-16
in Super Bowl XIX.This
three-time Super Bowl Champion recently visited
Sports Gallery Carmel for an exclusive signing, where
he signed this awesome photograph, including the special/rare
inscription "World Champs 84,88,89." Quality framed
in thick black wood, UV-protective glass (very important for

"Big Ben" Davidson spent the bulk of his career -
nine seasons - with the Oakland Raiders, where all he did was
win...baby. Ben had a lifetime
.663 winning perentage over 18 years of regular and postseason
play (a phenomenal .720 if you take away 2 losing seasons as
a Redskin reserve). This from a player who did not even play
high school football and didn't start playing until enrolling
at East Los Angeles Junior College. Eventually a winner of two
Rose Bowls as a Washington Husky, Ben joined the Raiders in
1964. Never waw a franchise and player more meant for each other!
Davidson was an extroverted personality joining an already unruly
cast of characters. In 1965, he showed up at camp with a handlebar
mustache when facial hair was frowned upon around the league.
He's never been without it. An AFL All-Star in 1966, '67, and
'68 Ben was an important of the 1968 Super Bowl II Raider team.

League history to pass for more than 3,000 yards and rush for
more than 200 yards in the same season seven consecutive times.
He was only the second quarterback in NFL history to record
more than 40,000 yards passing and 3,000 yards rushing during
his career. He ranks second all-time in three of the game’s
most significant passing categories, passing yards (51,475),
attempts (7,250), and completions (4,123). Indicative of his
versatility, Elway was responsible for 334 touchdowns(300 passing;
33 rushing and one receiving) generating 4,771 of the 5,806
points (82.2%) scored by the Broncos during his 16-year tenure
with the club. Selected to play in nine Pro Bowl games, John
was also named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 1987,
AFC Offensive Player of the Year in 1993, and Super Bowl XXXIII
Most Valuable Player. Inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame
in 2004, Stanford graduate John Elway is one of the best to

QB
Brett Favre has been the starting quarterback for the Green Bay
Packers since 1992. The winner of three consecutive NFL MVP Awards
(1995-97), Brett is without question the heart and soul of the
Packers. In 1996 Favre led the Packers to their greatest season
in 30 years. Green Bay compiled an NFL-best regular season record
of 13-3, dispatched San Francisco and Carolina at Lambeau Field
in the playoffs, and advanced to Super Bowl XXXI at the Louisiana
Superdome. Favre threw two touchdown passes over 50 yards and
scored another touchdown rushing, and the Packers won the Vince
Lombardi Trophy over the New England Patriots, 35-21. And in 2007
Brett worked the same kind of magic with the Pack leading them
to the NFC Title Game. On September 30, 2007, Favre threw a 16-yard
pass to Greg Jennings for his 421st career touchdown pass, passing
Dan Marino's total of 420 and making him the all-time career touchdown
pass leader in NFL history. They should just put Brett in the
Hall of Fame now and get it over with. These
two Sports Gallery Exclusive
Displays includes a hand-signed 8x10 photograph of
Brett's record-breaking touchdown pass (16x20 w/ special inscription),
quality framed in thick mahogany (16x20) or black wood (8x10),

wonderful moment on November 23, 1984 will never disappear. Years
later, the results are still the same: perfect throw by Doug Flutie,
perfect trajectory, and perfect landing in Gerard Phelan's hands.
Final score: Boston
College 47, Miami 45. It is one of the greatest moments
in college football's 130-year history. Doug Flutie's last-second
48-yard "Hail Mary" touchdown pass to Gerard Phelan
gave BC a thrilling 47-45 victory over Miami and secured its own
enduring place in both Boston sports and college football lore.

hope that it would be caught in the end zone by Gerry Phelan as
an the clock in the Orange Bowl ticked off the final three seconds
of an incredible game, was like the Shot
Heard 'Round The College Football World because it jolted
an entire nation the day after Thanksgiving in 1984. Just a play

Rich
Gannon new!
$189
QB
Rich Gannon was selected by the New England Patriots out of the
University of Delaware in the 4th round of the 1987 Draft. The
Pats envisioned converting Rich to a defensive back. Thankfully,
Rich had other ideas and was quickly traded to the Minnesota Vikings.
Gannon became the Vikings' starting quarterback in 1990 but it
was February, 1999 that was the real turning point in Rich's career.
That month he was signed as a free agent by the Oakland Raiders.
Nice signing! In Oakland, Gannon excelled in Jon Gruden's west
coast offense and was voted to the Pro Bowl his first year as
a Raider - the first of four straight Pro Bowl selections. In
2000 and 2001, he won back-to-back Pro Bowl MVP Awards, a feat
achieved by no other NFL player. And In 2002 he did even better,
setting single-season completion record (418), winning the NFL
MVP Award, and leading the the Raiders to Super Bowl XXXVII. In
his 18-year career, Gannon completed 2,533 of 4,206 passes (60.2%)
for 28,743 yards and 180 touchdown passes. Not too shabby. Definitely
one of the great Raider signal callers of all time, remember Oakland's
great run of the early 2000's with this hand-signed photograph
of Rich in action. Sports Gallery Quality

Former
San Francisco 49ers QB, and San Jose State graduate, Jeff Garcia
quickly became one of the elite QBs in the NFL. In his first three
seasons as a full-time starter for San Francisco, he earned Pro
Bowl honors. He was also the first quarterback in 49ers history
to throw for 30 or more touchdowns in consecutive seasons (2000
and 2001). He was also the Canadian Football League Grey Cup MVP
in 1998 while playing for the Calgary Stampeders.
Now a Philadelphia Eagle, this hand-signed (along with his #5)
action photograph of Jeff recalls his great 49er years. Quality
framed and matted in mahogany, UV-protective glass and 49er

San
Francisco RB Franklin Gore (born in Coconut Grove, Florida) has
quickly developed into one of the elite running backs in the NFL.
The Sporting News' Big East Freshman of the Year at the University
of Miami, Gore was drafted by the 49ers in the third round of
the 2005 NFL Draft. In 2006, his first full season as a starter,
Frank carried the ball 312 times for a franchise record 1,695
yards, eclipsing Garrison Hearst’s 1998 record of 1,570 yards.
In so doing, he became the first member of the 49ers to lead the
NFC in rushing yards. He also set a franchise record with 2,180
combined yards (1,695 yards rushing and 485 yards receiving),
breaking Hearst’s single season record of 2,105 total yards
(1,570 rushing and 535 receiving) set in 1998. And against the
Seattle Seahawks that season, Gore set the 49ers’ single-game
rushing record by totaling 212 yards on 24 carries. After Gore’s
tremendous season, he was named the starting running back to the
NFC Pro Bowl team, as well as earning All-Pro honors. Without
a doubt the Niners running back of the future, get Gore collectibles
before they go up in value. This awesome 16x20 action photograph
of Gore eluding his a defender is hand-signed by Gore and Sports
