Roman Gabriel, the former North Carolina State quarterback who was the 1969 NFL MVP with the Los Angeles Rams, died Saturday. He was 83.
Gabriel's son, Roman III, announced his father's death in a social-media post, saying he had 'passed away peacefully' that morning of natural causes at home.
Gabriel was a two-time player of the year in the Atlantic Coast Conference (1960 and 1961) while at N.C. State, becoming the first ACC quarterback to throw for 1,000 yards in a season.
He ended up being the No. 2 overall NFL draft pick of the Rams, where he played from 1962-72 before playing with the Philadelphia Eagles from 1973-77.
He was the MVP in 1969, throwing for 2,549 yards and 24 touchdowns to go with five rushing scores.
