The featured Miami Dolphins #96 nike dri-fit shirt was game worn by AJ Francis when the Miami Dolphins faced the Chicago Bears in preseason on August 13th, 2015. Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill picked apart a rebuilt defense, throwing for a touchdown on the game’s opening drive, and the Miami Dolphins led into the second half before the Chicago Bears rallied for a 27-10 victory. Francis had 3 tackles including 1 TFL (Tackle for Loss) in the loss. The talented lineman has signed the shirt and added “Game Worn Vs Chicago” in silver to the chest of the shirt. There is a player issued Miami Dolphins #96 label inside the shirt. The shirt shows good wear with a small tear in the front. Player issued gear is impossible to obtain!
