Description


Take home this limited edition commemorative football, laser-autographed by 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis (#52).  This football, one of only 500 created, is not available to the general public.  A Certificate of Authenticity from the San Francisco 49ers is included with the football.


Patrick Willis was a first-round draft pick (11th overall) by the San Francisco 49ers in 2007.  During his first season, Willis made Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro, the first to do so since CB Ronnie Lott in 1981.  He was also named Defensive Rookie of the Year, joining CB Bruce Taylor (1970), DT Dana Stubblefield (1993) and DT Bryant Young (1994) as 49ers to win the award.




In 2008, Willis started as inside linebacker and was named team defensive captain for the season.  He was one of only three NFL rookies to line up for every snap in 2008.  At 49ers vs. Seattle (9-14), Willis recorded his first career interception and touchdown, returning a pass by QB Matt Hasselbeck for 86 yards, in addition to recording 12 tackles and defending one pass.  Willis' 86-yard touchdown return is the longest ever by a 49ers linebacker.
