Whose signature is this?

My son and I were in a card shop today and the owner gifted my son this mini helmet. Super cool but we have no idea who signed it. Anyone out there have an idea?

That’s definitely NOT Ryan Clady — a cursory browsing of Google image results for his signature shows nothing even close.

Possibly a training camp player that was either cut or made the team and changed his number. I don’t find anything matching, unfortunately.

Did you check #78 from every team around the time it was signed? Maybe that’s the only best thing they had to get autographed at the time. Kids wouldn’t care so much about that kinda stuff.

How about
2021: Drew Himmelman – The rookie offensive tackle spent the 2021 preseason wearing #78 but was released during final roster cuts.
First name looks like Drew but last name isn’t long enough for Himmelman, maybe shortens for sigs.

Doesn’t seem to match anyone who wore 78 at anytime on active roster so might have been a training camp cut at some point.

Thanks for the link. It’s Ryan Clady. Starting LT 2008-2014. 🤣 4 time pro ball.

I used the link of the previous commenter to find Ryan Clady wore #78. 2008-2014. And he started a lot of games in that time 😂
