He had people waiting in his office, he told his sec to give him a few minutes. We went in his office and took his time with me. He took the time to talk with me, take a pic or two and sign jersey's for my wife and I, as well as a couple cards. He was incredible. One thing I noticed and was wondering if you did too, is that even though he's less than 6' tall, he has huge hands. Did you shake hands with him?
Anyway, sorry for dipping into the memories but I totally love your helmet!
Thanks man! Yeah, he is a great guy. I briefly met him at a National in Chicago 5-6 years ago when Largent was doing a signing there. Had a couple pics taken, but they came out super blurry as the fellow behind me in line was taking them. But that's alright, I was just thrilled to meet my favorite player. I didn't get a chance to shake hands though with him that I can recall. I usually try to thank the signer, but I don't think I had time in line.
Collecting: Travis Fryman, Champ Bailey, Steve
Largent, Steve Yzerman, Brian Holzinger, Mike Johnson and Jordan Sigalet.

My holy grail probably changes from time to time, but landing this rare insert definitely has shot to the top of my football collection, especially since it's in mint condition for all the foil and die cut edges:
