Rueben Mayes "The Bayou Bullet" New Orleans Saints Vintage Original 1987 NFL Theme Poster - Costacos Final Stock Collection

Celebrating one of the great New Orleans Saints stories of the 1980s! This amazing piece, from the great Costacos Brothers, commemorates the Bayou's surprise sensation of the 1986 season, Rueben Mayes. A little-known running back from Canada drafted in the third round out of Washington State, Mayes came to the Superdome with no expectations. By the end of the season, he was named Offensive Rookie of the Year, played in the Pro Bowl, and continued on as a fan-favorite in New Orleans. His speed was so unbelievable...he could out-race a speeding bullet! A vintage original preserved in its original condition for decades now, this takes you right back to the golden era of sports posters, when creative photo shoots combined with superstar talent, meant the best sports posters in history. Don't miss your chance at this nostalgic classic, from a classic era in the NFL! Note: this poster is part of the COSTACOS FINAL STOCK Collection, preserved perfectly in original condition since production; limited quantity remains in our warehouse.
