Description
Early 1970's Paul Krause Game Worn Minnesota Vikings Jersey. No Hall of Fame game-worn jersey collection will be complete without the addition of a Vikings jersey from interception legend Paul Krause. Offered here is the legendary defender's purple mesh Minnesota home jersey from the early 1970's. An admitted simple style, it's classic in its own right, while the "[size] 46" Sand Knit garment presents screened-on white numerals and a sewn-on NOB. Jersey exhibits moderate wear throughout, and it displays superbly. Letter of provenance from Paul Krause. LOA from Heritage Auctions.The Collection of Pro Football Hall of Famer Paul Krause
Paul Krause's gridiron brilliance started as a two-way star at the University of Iowa, where he possessed all-around talent as the Hawkeyes' standout wide receiver and defensive back. In addition, Krause also played collegiate baseball, where he earned All-American honors and was drafted into the Major Leagues. After he injured his shoulder during his junior year, Krause opted to stick with football, and in 1964 he was drafted in the second round by the Washington Redskins.
While playing in the nation's capital during his rookie year, Krause led the NFL in interceptions with twelve, including interceptions in seven straight games. His defensive dominance continued, as he intercepted a total of twenty-eight passes in his first four seasons with the Redskins. In 1968, the Flint, Michigan native was traded to the Minnesota Vikings, with whom he would appear in three Super Bowls and six Pro Bowls.
The NFL's all-time leader in interceptions with eighty-one, Krause is enshrined in both the Vikings Ring of Honor, and as a member of the Redskins' 70th Anniversary Team. In 1998 he claimed the sport's greatest honor when he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Heritage Auctions is proud to present the following lots from The Paul Krause Collection, an array of artifacts that were proudly displayed in his St. Paul, Minnesota residence until now. Each lot will be accompanied by a letter of provenance from Mr. Krause.
