Roman Gabriel may have been the second overall pick of the 1962 Draft, but the former member of the North Carolina State Wolfpack took a long time to officially win the starting Quarterback job for the Los Angeles Rams. Gabriel competed with veterans Zeke Bratkowski and Bill Munson but in 1966 the new Head Coach, George Allen eliminated all controversy by naming Gabriel the number one QB.
Tom Fears was the first NFL player of note to be born in Mexico, and the former UCLA standout would play all nine of his NFL seasons with the Los Angeles Rams. Fears was initially pegged to be a Defensive Back, but he would blossom on the offense where the End would help usher in more of a passing attack in the game.
A member of the Los Angeles Rams for eight seasons, Isiah Robertson got off to an incredible start as the 10th overall pick in 1971 would promptly win the Defensive Rookie of the Year. Robertson, who was a Pro Bowler as a rookie, went on a spectacular run in the mid-'70s would earn Pro Bowl honors annually from 1973 to 1977 and was named an All-Pro in all of those seasons with two First Team and three Second Team accolades.
One of the greatest athletes ever to come out of Fresno State, Henry Ellard was used as both a Wide Receiver and Punt Returner in his first few seasons in the NFL. Ellard was still catching his fair share of passes, but he was good enough as a Punt Returner to be named a First Team All-Pro and a Pro Bowl in 1984. Ellard would go on a tear where from 1988 to 1991 he would exceed 1,000 Receiving Yards, the first of which saw him lead the National Football League with 1,414 Yards and he was named a First Team All-Pro again. The Wide Receiver would finish fourth and second in Receiving Yards the next two seasons and overall as a Los Angeles Ram he totaled 9,761 Yards from the air.
