Limited Edition Autographed Johnny "The Jet" Rodgers (1972 Heisman Winner)

Johnny “The Jet” Rodgers played for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and won the 1972 Heisman Trophy. Rodgers played in the Canadian Football League (CFL) with the Montreal Alouettes and in the National Football League (NFL) with the San Diego Chargers. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2000. In his three years with the Cornhuskers, the versatile Rodgers established an all-purpose NCAA yardage record of 5,586.

In 1971, in what has become known as college football's "Game of the Century," Rodgers returned a punt 72 yards to score the first touchdown which set the tone for his team's 35–31 victory over the University of Oklahoma. ESPN describes Rodgers' performance as "unforgettable." However, some observers consider his greatest single performance to be in the 1973 Orange Bowl when he led his team to a 40–6 victory over Notre Dame. Rodgers ran for three touchdowns, caught a 50-yard pass for another touchdown, and threw a 54-yard touchdown pass to a teammate. He did all this before leaving the game with 21 minutes still to play.

1970: 39 carries for 219 yards with 4 TD. 39 catches for 710 yards with 7 TD.

1971: 40 carries for 269 yards with 2 TD. 57 catches for 956 yards with 11 TD.

1972: 73 carries for 348 yards with 10 TD. 58 catches for 1013 yards with 9 TD.

He is the only Heisman winner who had a then-present felony conviction before receiving the award.
