Former Baltimore Colts star defensive tackle Fred Miller died on Sunday at age 82.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay confirmed the death of Miller, who spent his entire NFL career with the franchise when it was located in Baltimore.
“Rest in peace, FRED MILLER, #76, 10-year starting DT of the Baltimore Colts. A three-time Pro Bowl selection,” Irsay said on Twitter.
Miller played 133 games (124 starts) with the Colts from 1963-72 and was a key figure on the team’s defense. He played in two Super Bowls and had five tackles in Baltimore’s 16-13 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl V.
Miller’s Pro Bowl selections were in 1967, 1968 and 1969. He was second-team All-Pro in 1967 and 1968. Unofficially, he was credited with 52 career sacks.
Miller was a seventh-round pick in the 1962 draft after a standout career at LSU. He started on both the offensive and defensive lines during his three college seasons and was a first-team All-American. He was inducted into the LSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1964.
