This is the NFL films top-10 drafts, Steelers 74 #1. Lambert shot is later in the video, maybe 3:00 or so in. Maybe someone can do a screengrab. The "M" is clearly slanted-wide rather than straight-vertical. And, it's centered and slightly higher than this one. Jersey looks great to me but I wouldn't be surprised if this nameplate was years after the fact, and how can you authenticate that the nameplate was really put back on by the team. But I'm no expert!

These videos will use clips from any year, no guarantee they're from his rookie year.

Hi,

Also, the description states that the nameplate was removed and then re-attached. Doesn't say/don't know if that was done during the season, after the season, years later...so I wouldn't focus on how the nameplate was centered over the numbers as we don't know when it was reattached.

Thanks,

Tom

First thing that jumps out at me is that the NOB is not centered above the "58" equally.....it's off centered to the left.

I think that is just the way it is, because the way it fits on the mannequin.
From the info I have learned from this forum, the spacing between the letters on the NOB is on point.

Find rookie pictures of Lambert and see if you can picture match that flaw....
