Hey Guys:

A tougher question ahead: Eagles wide receiver Harold Carmichael set an NFL record in 1979 when he caught at least one pass in 106 consecutive games. The game in which he broke Danny Abramowicz' record was against Cleveland at Veterans Stadium. At halftime of that game, Carmichael was awarded with a really big trophy. Does anyone know how big that trophy stood? Any info that you can provide about that trophy is appreciated. Thanks!

Sincerely,
Joe Zagorski

The trophy was 22 feet, 10 inches high, and weighed about 800 pounds. This info came from an article about the trophy being at the
Pro Football Hall of Fame and quoted by Don Smith, a Vice-President at the HOF. I remember growing up and going to the Hall of
Fame and seeing the trophy on display, it was all of that 22 feet.

According to an article a few days later, it was 23 feet, nine inches. I know at one point, it was at the PFHOF.

I never heard about that! I do know Eagles lost that game though. Seattle at Dallas '02 comes to mind for some reason....

Thanks Guys! I truly appreciate the info!

I found a newspaper article about the trophy but no pictures of it. I don't remember seeing it at the PFHOF:
