This item is an autographed Sonny Jurgensen logo football. Christian Adolph Jurgensen III, known better as Sonny Jurgensen, is a former American football quarterback in the National Football League for the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Football Team (formerly known as the Washington Redskins). He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1983.

Jurgensen was drafted in the fourth round of the 1957 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. After Eagles quarterback Norm Van Brocklin retired in 1961, Jurgensen took over as Philadelphia's starter and had a successful year, passing for an NFL record 3,723 yards, tying the NFL record with 32 touchdown passes, and was named All-Pro. Following an injury-plagued 1963 season, Jurgensen was traded to the Washington Redskins in 1964.

Jurgensen is recognized as the finest pure passer of his time. A five-time Pro Bowl selection, he earned three NFL individual passing titles. He exceeded 400 yards passing in a single game five times, and threw five touchdown passes in a game twice. With a career rating of 82.6, his stats include 2,433 completions for 32,224 yards and 255 touchdowns. He also rushed for 493 yards and 15 touchdowns. Jurgensen's 82.62 career passer rating is the highest for any player in the "Dead Ball Era" (pre-1978).

Career highlights for Jurgensen include: NFL champion (1960), 5× Pro Bowl (1961, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1969), 2× First-team All-Pro (1961, 1969), Second-team All-Pro (1967), 5× NFL passing yards leader (1961, 1962, 1966, 1967, 1969), 2× NFL passing touchdowns leader (1961, 1967), NFL passer rating leader (1967), NFL 1960s All-Decade Team, Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame, Washington Redskins Ring of Fame, and Longest touchdown pass: 99 yards (tied).
