Jack Butler vs. Dante Lavelli Custom McFarlane sportspick match-up

This started out as just a commission for a Steeler's Jack Butler figure. After coming up with the pose I proposed to the customer that we come up with a wide receiver to go along with it. It had to be a WR in the NFL HOF so I came up with a list of 7 possible WRs. After going through old NFL schedules and box scores I determined that Jack Butler and Dante Lavelli both played in the same game on November 16, 1952. So, this scene may have well actually played out.


So here is a vintage football match-up with Steelers Jack Butler verses Browns Dante "Gluefingers" Lavelli.
