Now you can be the proud owner of the protective headgear that helped to safeguard Indianapolis’ most valuable natural resource from defensive ends and linebackers with heads full of steam. The helmet for auction was used during the 2003 season, his 6^th in the NFL, and was autographed in January of 2004. The item has been approved by the Upper Deck Authenticated Memorabilia Registration under their thorough and reliable 5-step authentication process, including a witness present at the signing.Since joining the Indianapolis Colts as a rookie out of the University of Tennessee, Manning has been the undisputed face of the franchise and the premiere quarterback in the NFL. Unparalleled as a field general over the course of his career, Manning has been named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player 4 times (an NFL record), led the Colt’s to 2 Super Bowl appearances, while hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in 2006 and taking home Super Bowl MVP honors in the process. A rare breed of NFL superstar, Manning has been committed to the same franchise throughout his career, as he enters his 13^th year of NFL service. The starting quarterback in Indianapolis since his rookie season in 1998, Manning has been arguably the most successful 1 overall draft pick of his decade. At Tennessee, Manning ended his illustrious career as the Volunteers’ all-time passing leader, racking up 11,201 yards and 89 TD passes. Manning set the bar for Southeastern Conference quarterbacks with winning 39 games as a starter, a conference record at the time.The son of former Saints QB Archie Griffin and the older brother of Giants QB Eli Manning, Peyton has been the premiere member of what some call the royal family of quarterbacks. Not only has he brought Colts fans over a decade of joy on the field, he has also established himself as one of the league’s most marketable players, avoiding the disdain of fans that so often comes with success, that is of course, “if you like 6’5”, 230 lbs. quarterbacks with a laser rocket arm.”
