He was an AFL All-Star in 1966 and 1967, a key to the 1967 Oakland Raiders' defensive line that led the team to a 13–1 record and the 1967 AFL Championship, and was considered "the premier tackle in the old American Football League".^[1] He was known for his use of a distinctive four-point stance in which he lined up with both hands on the ground.^[2]
