Quick Glance: Rams legend Roman Gabriel dies at age 83
- Roman Gabriel, one of pro football's best quarterbacks during the 1960s, passed away at the age of 83, as announced by his son.
- In 1962, Gabriel was the No. 1 overall pick in the AFL Draft and the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft. Opting to join the Rams instead of the Raiders proved to be a beneficial decision for the franchise.
- Gabriel, along with the Rams' Fearsome Foursome defensive line, led Los Angeles to an impressive record in the '60s, including two division titles.
- Despite not being in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Gabriel's career surpasses many quarterbacks in Canton, Ohio. He still holds the Rams' career record with 154 touchdown passes.
