In 1988, his blocking and 427 career receptions for 5,812 yards and 43 touchdowns earned him the honor of being the first tight end inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Ditka also scored two touchdowns on offensive fumble recoveries, tying seven other players for the most in NFL history. In 1999, he was ranked number 90 on The Sporting News's list of the 100 Greatest Football Players. He is known by the nickname "Iron Mike", which he has said comes from his being born and raised in a steel town in Pennsylvania.Comes with a full Letter of Authenticity from Todd Mueller Authentics if the item sells for $10 and over.
