Jim Vellone (63) was a USC offensive linemen in 1964-65. He then played five years with the Minnesota Vikings, where he started Super Bowl IV and helped win the 1969 NFL championship. Vellone retired from the NFL in 1971 when he discovered he had Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He was only 33 when he died in 1977 and it is definitely worthwhile to remember him.
