So Cal's All-Time Roster: No. 67
No. 67:
Our pick:
==Duval Love, UCLA football (1981-'84), Rams ('85-'91)
The first seven years of his pro career was with the Rams, but even making the team wasn't a done deal for the former UCLA standout. According to a story done by TheSportsCritic.com, Love was "devastated" that he was a 10th-round draft pick: "I was fortunate enough to get drafted but I had my work cut out for me. ... They had four Pro Bowlers on the line and three adequate back ups. My chances where slim-to-none and slim had just walked out. I lay on the bed that night looking at the roster and I thought, there is no way…I was in the gutter. Then I went to camp and I worked my butt off. Hudson Houck was my line coach. He’s one of the best line coaches in the NFL. He’s the Miami Dolphins line coach now. He had recruited me to go to USC ... I worked hard. I got cussed out every day and I made the team. I was shocked and dismayed but I made the team. My locker had a little piece of tape that said 'Love 67.' Then I saw my locker was right next to Jackie Slater."
He made All-Pro with Pittsburgh later in his career after signing as a free agent.
Other No. 67s:
==Luis Sharpe, UCLA football ('78-'81)
'81 All-American, first-round pick of St. Louis Cardinals.
==Ryan Kalil, USC football ('03-'06)
==John Papadakis, USC football ('70-'71)
