NFL-OBIT/OLSEN
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Pro Football Hall of Famer Merlin Olsen has died at age 69, one year after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.
Olsen was a consensus All-American at Utah State and won the 1961 Outland Trophy as the nation's best interior lineman. The Rams drafted him third overall in 1962 and he spent the next 15 years with the team before retiring in 1976 with 14 Pro Bowls on his resume.
Olsen joined Deacon Jones, Lamar Lundy and Rosey Grier on the Rams' storied "Fearsome Foursome" defensive line. They helped the club set an NFL record for the fewest yards allowed during a 14-game season in 1968.
Olsen went on to work as a football analyst and actor on TV. He had a role on "Little House on the Prairie," before starring in his own series, "Father Murphy," from 1981 to 1983 and the short-lived "Aaron's Way" in 1988.
