Behind every great football dynasty, there's a runner that anchors the ground attack. And while Joe Montana was building an unprecedented career stat sheet, running back Roger Craig was redefining the running back position and forever changing the game of football. With Bill Walsh's revolutionary "West Coast Offense" mixing short passes with misdirected runs, Roger Craig became known not just as a great runner, but as a dangerous threat as a receiver out of the backfield. Nothing illustrates the point better than the final tally from Roger Craig's 1985 season; 1,050 yards rushing, 1,016 yards receiving. Only after four Super Bowl Championships in the decade of the 80's did defensive coordinators even begin to devise a counterattack to the "West Coast Offense." Offered is a special piece of NFL history, a game-used, circa 1987-88 home jersey of avant-garde running back Roger Craig. This lightweight mesh jersey has heat transfer identifiers, exhibiting moderate game use, including a cut along the right side of the nameplate. The manufacturer's tag has been removed. LOA from MEARS, Mile High Card Co.
