RIP Howard Twilley

[micropolitan guy]

Howard Twilley, receiver for undefeated 1972 Dolphins and Heisman runner-up at Tulsa, dies at 81

I remember he and QB Jerry Rhome were a big deal in an era when nobody threw more than 20-25 times a game.

Twilley and guard Norm Evans were the only two original expansion Dolphins around for the perfect season six years later. Twilley was the possession receiver, while Marlin Briscoe and Paul Warfield gave Griese and Morrall deep threats.

Had no idea he finished runner-up for the Heisman to Mike Garrett in 1965.

Norm Evans is still alive and well, living in the Seattle area.
RIP Mr. Twilley.
