RIP Merlin Olsen

[the 4th hanson bro]

Hall of Fame lineman Merlin Olsen has died at the age of 69 following a long battle with cancer.

Olsen was a consensus All-American at Utah State and a first-round draft pick of the Los Angles Rams in 1962.
The giant from northern Utah joined Deacon Jones, Lamar Lundy and Rosey Grier on the Rams' storied "Fearsome Foursome" defensive line known for either stopping or knocking backward whatever offenses it faced. The Rams set an NFL record for the fewest yards allowed during a 14-game season in 1968.
