If I remember correctly, he played for the Baltimore Colts, and played with Johnny Unitas and Norm Bulloch.

I've been a BALTIMORE Colts fan forever...I never looked at pro football the same way after Robert Irsay snuck them out the way he did.
Bubba was one of the finest defensive lineman the NFL ever saw...yes he did play with the immortal Johnny U and the rest of the fantastic (and sometimes not so fantastic) Colts. Bubba will be missed.Poet...Mystic...Soldier of Fortune. As always...self-absorbed, adversarial, cocky and in general a malcontent.Comment

Here's another article with a little more detail ... I agree Bruce he was a great player and I miss the pro football players of that era .... truly some of the all times greats.
