The “fourth” member of the Purple People Eaters, Gary Larsen’s role of the group was as the “policeman”, indicating that he was covering the run while his teammates were terrorizing the QB. This didn’t mean that Larsen didn’t have his share of Quarterback pressure, as he had 38.5 (unofficial) Sacks and was named to two Pro Bowls.
