Gridiron Grit – No. 41

Gridiron Grit – No. 41 – a classic midcentury portrait of a young football player in a crouched stance, uniform crisp, stare deadly serious. Taken on a sunlit field, this photo channels varsity-era Americana before shoulder pads ballooned and contracts came with agents.

Once tucked in a high school yearbook sleeve, this was the kind of keepsake mailed home with pride or slipped into a locker door with a promise to remember fall Fridays forever.
