You've got me. It looks like the initials are O.G. But as he said, that doesn't match anyone who wore the number in a regular season game. So many guys get cycled through in camp every year that I have no idea.

 

It would be a lot more helpful if we knew at least like...a 5 year span of when this may have been signed.

 

Yeah, if we assume that the helmet is from the period that he was on the team, it only narrows it down from between 1997-2012.

 

I went ahead and checked the database of all NFL players historically with the combinations: "OG, QG, OC, QC" as initials. I couldnt find anyone who could be a match.

The first word almost looks like "Official" scribbed out illegiblely. I see a definite O (possibly but unlikely a Q) what could be an F, a dot where an I could be near the end and an L.

I cant think of a human name with that combination of letters, but I could be entirely wrong.

Oddly enough, and I dont this has anything to do with it, 25 is the number of years between 1972 and 1997 the first year of the helmet.

 

Will Allen

 

Wow! Detective FinD solves the case!

That signature looks.....well, not like his name, lol.

 

I looked up players who have worn 25. When there was obviously no one whose name looked similar, I focused on last names as players often go by a different first name. The last name on the sig looked like it could maybe be Allen. so I just googled Will Allen's signature.

The funniest part is the twitter account asking the question has the last name of Allen.

 

It looks absolutely nothing like his name. It even looks slightly different from the posted pictures signature.

Good job FinD

 

I'll be honest that I didnt really look at primary players, I thought it might be too obvious. Especially since his W is an O lol

 

That helmet is ugly and ancient looked like late eighties early nineties

 

Good lord! I would have never in a million years guessed it was Will Allen.

 

He just puts a big curvy on the side of his W which makes it look weird.

 

Someone needs to go on twitter and tell that guy it is Will Allen. I would, but I don't have twitter.

 

Good thinking! More members! You a marketer, Galant?

 

Fin D /////Will?

Not even your Mom would recognize that awfull sig.

Good job!

 

He's in prison.

 

Hey wait arent you a Mod? Make the mug happen...no excuses.

 

Two things to remember:
- celebrities often have have 2 signatures. One for autographs and one for official documents.
- signing on a curved helmet will distort a signature compared to one signed on a flat surface. Also you have the variance caused by pen type and surface type. (My signature on the back of my credit/debit cards isn’t the same as my signature on paper).

 

Color me impressed
