Merlin Olsen - Dead

Merlin Olsen = Stud

You can make a case for him being THE best D-Lineman ever.

Played 15 seasons.
Made 14 pro bowls.
Missed just one game.

Dude was big, sturdy, and solid.
You did NOT fuck with him.


Pretty bland as a color guy, but it was a different gig when he was involved.
He wasn't a pretty boy jag off trying to stir shit up with cute little takes.

He and Enberg were a solid team.
Professionals.

No doubt about that. I don't know that he is underrated as one of the great players of the game, but he is certainly underappreciated. I guess that happens when you aren't a bigmouthed, attention whoring asshole.

RIP
