I recognize George Allen and Joe Theisman. Is this a ball autographed by members of the Redskins Super Bowl XVII team? Trying to figure out where in time this would have been signed and by who. Might be a Sonny auto too?

Only one I recognize off the dome was Sonny Jurgenson
Looks like George Allen under the Wilson
Jerry Smith is on there
Maybe from the ’73 team? Larry Willis was only on the team in ’73. Pat Fischer is also there and he was on the team that year as well. Theismann came one year later. Maybe ’73 offseason?
The ball is older as it has Pete Rozelle’s sig printed on it.
EDIT: I see Billy Kilmer in the first pic, northwest portion under Larry Willis.
Charley Taylor and Chris Hanburger were popular players at the time, but I don’t see them on there.
Also, Pat Fisher, Diron Talbert, and Len Hauss. This is mid to late 70’s. Super Bowl 17 was not until 82. Very cool find though!
I also see Larry browns signature. Theisman and Larry brown played together in 74, 75 and 76.
Ted Vactor, Sonny Jurgensen, and Brig Owen’s, too.
This is definitely not from the Super Bowl XVII team as those players and coach had long moved on. I thought it may have been the Super Bowl VII team, but Joe Theismann hadn’t joined the team yet.
Ted Vactor was one of George Allen’s special teams aces.
Thats me right above the air hole. My playing name was Wilson
I see Mike Hull, Jerry Smith, George Allen (coach), Maxie Baughan, Ted Vacter, Larry Willis, Len Hauss, Manny Sistrunk, Joe Theismann, Bryant Salter, Pat Fischer, Sonny Jurgensen, Chris Hanberger, Deacon Jones, Billy Kilmer (signed “Bill Kilmer, it looks like), Brig Owens, and some others I’m not sure of.
