***ADDITIONAL NOTES FROM CONSIGNOR***
This is a 2015 Wilson Tennessee Titans football that has been photo matched to Marcus Mariota. The Wilson code is HW, which is April of 2015. It holds air perfectly and shows nice use. The photos will show that the referee's markings are clear to read. The "65" and "23" on the tips of the football are from referees Walt Coleman and Jerome Boger. NFL records show that both referees were assigned to the same two Titans games in 2015. The games were against the Saints on November 8th and the Jets on December 13th. This football had to have been used on December13th against the Jets because the other game was the Military Appreciation game and both teams used game footballs with special markings in place of the NFL logo. This football has the regular NFL logo. So, a search of photos of the Jets game led to the perfect photo match of Marcus getting ready to pass this football. The "7" is very clear action photo and it's exactly the same on this football.
