Dean was the prototype rush end DE before they were even prototypes of the rush end.
He was an athletic stud and a genetic wonder. Dude had no body fat. He was such a specimen, like some dang Greek or Roman statue, he modeled for art classes while at La Tech.
I ran against his son Woodrow in track. Dude had the worst form but would dust us all the time. Solid RB for Ruston High as well. His daughter, Freida, was an all star in every sport. Fred's genetics were soemthing.
More than that, both of those kids were good people. Fred did well in sport and in life. Excellent man and father.

Used to piss me off as a young Saints fan.

I spoke to him a few times over the years.
One of the nicest guys you could ever meet.
He was always gracious and took a few minutes to speak to everyone around.
God bless the 'Dean of Mean' and his family.

I played against Fred in high school. As the quarterback for Bastrop High School, I wasn't very comfortable looking at him across the line of scrimmage.
