1961 Posed action photo of Syracuse University star Ernie Davis from the height of his fame and popularity. He would win the Heisman Trophy (the first black player to do so) and the sky seemed to be the limit for "The Express." Life would take a tragic turn for Davis who would be diagnosed with Leukemia shortly after being drafted and die the following year. The offered photo is a spectacular image in great shape that ranks among the best ever taken of this tragic superstar. A Hall of Fame worthy relic from one of the most important football players of all time, there are stamps on the back from Syracuse University that even notes that he was in the class of '62.
