Offered here is a game used pylon from Super Bowl XXXII signed by Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway. Elway, the current general manager of the Broncos, was a nine-time Pro Bowl selection and NFL Hall of Fame inductee. Super Bowl XXXII was the first of two consecutive Super Bowls won by the Broncos. The Broncos defeated the favored Green Bay Packers 31-24 to win the Lombardi Trophy behind Terrell Davis’ 157 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
Elway famously waited 15 years for his first Super Bowl appearance. He was 37 years old and in the twilight of his career during this Super Bowl and matched up against the young gunslinger Brett Favre. The wait for Elway’s next Super Bowl would be much shorter, with the Broncos making the Super Bowl the following year. This time the Broncos entered the game as favorites and put away the Atlanta Falcons, 34-19, with Elway winning the MVP award. Elway retired after Super Bowl XXXIII, ending a career in which he accumulated 51,475 passing yards and 300 touchdowns. This pylon, which is 18 inches tall, is signed by Elway in black sharpie. It features the NFL shield and Super Bowl XXXII logo on all sides. The pylon exhibits signs of game use, with two of the NFL logos beginning to peel off. This item features a PSA/DNA COA (AB73602).
