In addition to the Steelers memorabilia, the auction will feature game-used jerseys from NFL stars like Tom Brady, Justin Herbert, Brandon Graham, Rob Gronkowski, and Brian Urlacher. Other highlights include a 2016 Martellus Bennett Super Bowl ring and a 2017 Martellus Bennett AFC Championship ring.

The event not only celebrates football history but also supports charitable causes. “We are always pleased to present this highly anticipated event, which annually generates an impressive related donation to the wonderful charities of the NFL Auction program,” Hunt added.

The auction will take place in New Orleans, drawing collectors and fans eager to own a piece of NFL history. Proceeds will benefit the NFL’s charitable initiatives, continuing the tradition of giving back through sports memorabilia.
