NFL Career
Campbell is widely acknowledged as one of the best power backs in NFL history. Described as a "One-man demolition team", Campbell was a punishing runner. His 34-inch thighs, 5-11, 244-pound frame, coupled with 4.5 speed, made him the most feared runner of his time. Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Fame defensive tackle Joe Greene claimed that Campbell could inflict more damage on a team than any other back that he had ever faced.
Special Instructions
Does Not Include Framing. Exquisite Framing is Available for $450 (framing+ground shipping). See Framing Services Description Below. All framing and shipping will be handled directly by the donor, Paul Cauthen. Information for framing and shipping will be provided upon award.
All of our jerseys are framed using only top quality materials and handled with the upmost care. We use only acid free mat boards with suede as a top mat for a more rich texture and vibrant color. We hand stretch, pin and stitch all of our jerseys around a foam core then attach it to a contrasting mat color, this coupled with two layers of foam core under the top mat boards gives the jersey added dimension without requiring a shadowboxed frame. We are able to incorporate any patch and many carved logos into our jersey designs as well as additional photo openings or many other unique carving abilities not found at all frame shops. We have over ten years experience in custom framing with custom jerseys being one of the primary focuses. We have framed thousands of jerseys and have found many unique and special solutions for all framing needs.
