Colts/Jets DB Johnny Sample Dead at 67


Recommended Posts

Was on the Colt squad in the "Greatest Game Ever Played" ('58 NFL title game vs. Giants), and capped his career in SB III with the Dog-Ass Jets which beat, ironically, the Colts.

 

As I recall, Sample was quite the talker in his heyday but he usually walked the walk to back it up.

He drove the colts nuts. Tom Matte magnifies the loss by his visceral distaste for sample. RIP.
