“Lombardi Sweep” Autographed Print

During the 1960’s, the Packers dominated pro-football, in no small part because of the sweep. A deceptively easy play, Vince Lombardi used the sweep to maximum effect. In Green Bay’s playbook, it was known as “49” when run to the right and “28” when run to the left. 

This print of the infamous sweep play, shows and is autographed by…

  • #5 Paul Hornung: Super Bowl I Champ – NFL HOF 1986
  • #64 Jerry Kramer: Super Bowl I & II Champ – NFL HOF 2018
  • #63 Fuzzy Thurston: Super Bowl I & II Champ – NFL HOF 1975
