1941 Heisman Trophy up for auction at Super Bowl 54

Many items will be up for auction during Super Bowl 54, including Minnesota Golden Gophers halfback Bruce Smith’s 1941 Heisman Trophy.

Super Bowl week isn’t all about the two teams playing in the big game on Sunday evening. It’s about celebrating all facets of the game of football, regardless of the teams playing in it. During the week leading up to Super Bowl LIV down in Miami, FanSided‘s Mark Carman spoke with Dave Hunt of Hunt Auctions about some incredible that will be up for auction this week.

You could see on the table at radio row where Carman and Hunt were sitting at prominently featured, yes, a Heisman Trophy. Yes, that is a real Heisman Trophy. This one once belonged Bruce Smith, former Minnesota halfback who won the Heisman in 1941 when he ran for 473 yards and five touchdowns and threw for 320 yards and two touchdowns.

Hunt said the Heisman presentation was handed out two days after Pearl Harbor and is expected to go for at least $250,000.

Also on the table was a game-worn helmet San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice wore in a Super Bowl.

There was also a game-used football from last year’s Super Bowl in Atlanta. This was used on the second-half kickoff between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams.

Finally, Hunt showed off a game-worn jersey from Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce from this year. He pointed out the grass stains on the jersey to let you know this was indeed game-worn.

So if you have the funds, maybe one of these items can be yours?
