A three time All America choice at defensive end for the University of Miami Hurricanes, Ted Hendricks is considered the prototype linebacker of the NFL. He was selected in the second round of the 1969 draft by head coach Don Shula and the Baltimore Colts and was starting at right linebacker by mid season. In 1971 he played a key role in Super Bowl V for the victorious Colts. Hendricks was inducted in the NFL Hall of Fame in 1990.
This Baltimore Colts mini helmet was signed in blue by Hendricks and inscribed, "HOF '90." This mini helmet includes a Great Moments COA.
