How many players are still alive from that Dolphins perfect season? Soon there will be no one left to pop champagne.

Met him in the early 90s at a football camp at UNO and got his autograph
Very saddened to hear this

The 70s Dolphins were my heros as a young teen. Sad to see my heros passing on

That's a good question. Their interviews during the Patriots undefeated run to the Super Bowl were great, but the interviews after were even better

He was one of those guys that epitomized the look of a nfl player in the 70s

New England actually beat their record, technically. Dolphins went 17-0.
Pats went 18-0., then lost.

He died because he couldn’t bear to watch the Saints go 20-0

Quit adjusting your eyeglasses and overthinking it nerd.
Dolphins have the only undefeated season with a Super Bowl win. Morris passed knowing that was intact. Good for him.

I found an article from 2022 commemorating the 50th anniversary of that team. At the time, 28 were still living.
Miami Herald
Some highlights:
26. Lloyd Mumphord, defensive back: Mumphord, who turns 76 on Dec. 20, is retired and living in Lafayette, La. Highlight: He had four interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, in 14 games, all off the bench, in ‘72.
60. Al Jenkins, guard: Jenkins, 76, is retired and living in New Orleans. Highlight: Appeared in 14 games, and started none, as a backup interior lineman.

I liked how no matter how old he got he was always talking about how 1972 was best ever

Poor Patriots. Pats went 18-0 and then lost by 3 points to a 6-loss team they had already beaten during the season. Nothing to show for that season

Approximately 4 inches away from the most impressive hail Mary of all time. Randy Moss was insane.

Al Jenkins.....St.Augustine High School New Orleans..Purple Knights football royalty..

He was a good player on a great team.

Yes he was. Csonka was the thunder and Morris was the lightning. The Dolphins dominated the purple people eaters
Of the Vikings in SB 8 that griese only threw 7 passes the whole game.

I always liked him right around the time the last unbeaten goes down. RIP.
