Bob Brown, one of the best offensive linemen of the 1960s and an inductee to the Pro Football and College Football Hall of Fame, died Friday. He was 81 years old.
The Hall of Fame remembers Brown as a widely feared blocker who could bring the pain as much as any player was allowed to do on offense, with a collection of quotes from his coaches, teammates and opponents.
Carl Eller:"Bob Brown was probably my most feared competitor. He would strike out at you. His intent was to do bodily harm. He wanted to inflict pain." His pro career began with the Eagles, though the Denver Broncos also selected him fourth overall in the 1964 AFL Draft. Brown requested a trade from the Eagles after five seasons, citing"personal reasons" per the HOF, then landed with the Rams in a trade that included four other players.one of the best offensive lines of all time
