Roman Gabriel, who played 11 of his 16 years in pro football with the Rams, was the first Filipino American to play in the NFL.
Considering that he was the No. 1 overall draft pick in one league and No. 2 in the other, the prize in a bidding war marked by intrigue and skullduggery, it took Roman Gabriel a long time to establish himself as a pro football quarterback. Once he did, however, he went about cementing his place as one of the best of his day and a near-mythical figure in Rams’ lore.
With the Rams’ “Fearsome Foursome” — defensive linemen Rosey Grier, Merlin Olsen, Lamar Lundy and Deacon Jones — growing dominant, Allen went with Gabriel at quarterback and Los Angeles, which hadn’t had a winning season since 1958, was suddenly a contender. The Rams finished at 8-6, then went 11-1-2 the next season, winning a division title but losing to the Packers in the playoffs.
