Syracuse Football: Game-Worn Ernie Davis Jersey Up for Auction

By now, Ernie Davis has no equal in lore of Syracuse University. There was a movie telling his story to the masses. There's not one, but two statues of him on campus. There's a dorm building with his name, a field named in his honor and images that are shown on tours of SU.

We also know that not a whole lot of Ernie Davis memorabilia lived on past his Syracuse days. His life was cut short and he lived in an era before sports collectibles became a thing. So there are no autographed helmets, jerseys or playing cards like there are for other Syracuse football legends.
