Jeremy Shockey New York Giants Autographed Pro Helmet
This authenic Riddell pro line helmet is hand signed by New York Giants superstar Jeremy Shockey. Officially licensed by the NFL. Comes with a certificate of authenticity and hologram.
Shockey was selected 14th in the first round of the NFL Draft by the New York Giants in 2002. He quickly thrived in the NFL, receiving the 2002 "Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year" award, and being named to the Pro Bowl in four of his first five seasons (2002, 2003, 2005, and 2006). He is one of the focal points in the Giants offensive passing attack.
His 248 receptions through the first four seasons of his career are bested only by Kellen Winslow Sr. among tight ends in NFL history (Winslow had 256 receptions through his first 4 NFL seasons).
Possessing great athletic abilities to run routes and make crucial blocks, Shockey is equally known for his sometimes brash comments on other players and the media and for his antics off the field. His most notable incident came when, in an article in Sports Illustrated, he called Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells a "homo". During week 3 of the 2006 NFL season, he commented on a loss against Seattle by saying "We got outplayed, and we got outcoached. Write that down". Shockey apologized for the comment after speaking with head coach Tom Coughlin.
Shockey signed a five-year contract extension with the Giants on October 12, 2005, making him the highest paid tight end in professional football. The contract has Shockey earning $26.38 million through 2011.
Shockey turned in another strong performance during the 2006 season, catching 66 passes for 623 yards and tying a career-high with 7 touchdown receptions. For his efforts, Shockey was named to the Pro Bowl.
