Roger Brown, a DT who played in the NFL for the entire decade of the 1960s, died on 9/17 at age 84.
A 4th round draft pick by the Lions in 1960, Brown starred 0n Detroit from then through 1966, after which he spent his final 3 season with the Rams. He was on 6 Pro Bowl squads, and was All-Pro twice.
Twice (1962 and 1965) he led or tied for the NFL lead in tackles for safeties (2, then 1). He also never missed a regular season game in his pro career, starting in every one from 1961-68.
