In 2010 center Maurkice Pouncey was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round (#18) out of the University of Florida where he was a Consensus All-American and helped the Gators win the 2009 National Title. The selection paid huge dividends when he was the team's Rookie of the Year and earned his first of five Pro Bowls. This jersey was worn by Pouncey in the Steelers' 24-20 road victory over the Giants on November 4, 2012. The score was 20-10 in New York’s favor when Pittsburgh exploded in the 4th quarter to score two touchdowns and end the Giants four-game winning streak.
The white jersey has the Steelers patch on the left front chest and his number “53” below in black tackle twill. A size 46 Nike label is in the collar with “2012” and “+4 Length” hang tags affixed. Each sleeve has a “53” in black tackle twill and yellow, white and black striped ribbing. The back has “POUNCEY” and his number “53” in yellow and black tackle twill. As already stated, the jersey shows tremendous game use with many turf stains and contact abrasions throughout. There are loose threads and the tackle twill shows some puckering. The left shoulder can easily be photo-matched to Getty 527319702 during the 11/4/2012 game against New York. Terrific, pounded gamer from one of the NFL's best centers and perhaps Big Ben's most trusted teammate.
Includes COA from the NFL and PSA/DNA confirming 11/4/2012 game use.
