Handwritten college notes. Sheet measures approximately 8" x 10" in size. Written (front and back) and hand-signed by Ernie Davis (D 1963). Davis was an American football running back and the first African-American athlete to win the Heisman Trophy. Wearing number 44, Davis competed collegiately for Syracuse University before being drafted by the Washington Redskins, then almost immediately traded to the Cleveland Browns in December 1961. However, he would never play a professional game, as he was diagnosed with leukemia in 1962. He is the subject of the 2008 Universal Pictures movie biography The Express, based on the non-fiction book Ernie Davis: The Elmira Express, by Robert C. Gallagher.

Autograph includes a Todd Mueller Autographs LOA for authenticity purposes.
