A former Miami Dolphins player who was part of the team's two Super Bowl victories has died at the age of 79. The athlete was a member of the 1972 squad that completed the only perfect season in NFL history and won Super Bowl VII, as well as the following year's Super Bowl VIII.

In 2013, President Barack Obama hosted the surviving members of the 1972 championship team at the White House to honor their historic achievement.
