Roman Gabriel’s Last Rams Jersey: A Piece of NFL History

A Storied Career in Football

Roman Gabriel, a name synonymous with excellence in football, began his illustrious career at North Carolina State before making a significant impact in the NFL. Over 16 seasons, Gabriel’s prowess on the field was undeniable, with eleven of those seasons spent with the Los Angeles Rams. His remarkable achievements include being named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 1969 and earning Pro Bowl selections in 1967, 1968, 1969, and 1973. During his time with the Philadelphia Eagles, he led the league in passing yards with an impressive 3,219 yards in 1973.

The Legacy of a Record-Holder

Gabriel’s legacy with the Rams is cemented by his franchise records, holding the top spot for career touchdown passes with 154 and ranking third in passing yards with 22,223. Despite his numerous accolades, Gabriel remains one of the most notable omissions from the NFL Hall of Fame, a testament to his enduring impact on the sport. His induction into the College Football Hall of Fame further underscores his exceptional contributions to football.
