Unbelievably rare 1974 Whizzer White award presented to Rocky Bleier on June 22, 1975 by the NFLPA. The piece measures 18" high by 10" wide at its widest and is in generally excellent condition with some minor wear to the award figure. Piece comes with photo of Rocky Bleier receiving the award. The award is the highest honor that the NFLPA can bestow upon a player. It has been awarded annually since 1967 and is given to the player deemed to be as dedicated off the field as he is on the field through community service. The award is named after Supreme Court justice and ex-NFL player Byron "Whizzer" White. An extremely rare and unique piece to add to your collection.

It is always nice when an athlete makes a collection available to the public. As a collecting community, we are grateful for the opportunity to acquire rare and unique items from an athlete’s career. This one is extra special! For the first time, Rocky Bleier has made available his vast collection of memorabilia. Rocky is much more than an athlete. He is an American sports icon and hero.

From his days at Xavier High School and his three time selection to the all-state team to his being Captain of the Notre Dame football squad to his battles and injuries sustained in the Vietnam War to his fight back to become a 4 time Super Bowl Champion to his life as a family man to the present day where he continues to inspire with his life story and overall kindness. This collection tells a miraculous story and we are thankful that we have the honor of handling it.
