The Hall of Fame tailback Leroy Kelly wore this white AFC Pro Bowl jersey during the early 1970’s. Kelly, who magnificently handled the gargantuan task of replacing Jim Brown in the Browns backfield, rushed for 7,274 yards and 74 touchdowns in 10 years with the Browns, earning Pro Bowl nods in every season from 1966 through 1971. Kelly, a Philadelphia native, was named to the All-Pro First Team three times and claimed the 1968 Bert Bell Award. The former Morgan State star was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1994.
