1925 Photograph of Chicago Bears superstar Red Grange and taken in uniform from early in his professional career after leaving the University of Illinois and working out a week before his FIRST game in the NFL. On November 26th, Grange would make his debut in the NFL and change the world in the process, but this image is from a week earlier, on November 20th! A powerful image in great shape, this might be the first image of Grange in a professional uniform that exists! Issued by Pacific and Atlantic and with a full paper caption on the back.
