The NFL lost a legend today, as former NFL MVP Roman Gabriel has passed away at the age of 83.

According to a post from his son on social media, Gabriel “peacefully” of natural causes in his home Saturday morning. His son, Roman Gabriel III, asked for prayers and privacy as he and his family members mourn their tragic loss.

“I am sad to announce my father Roman Gabriel @RGabriel4HOF passed away peacefully this morning of natural causes at his home,” the tweet read. “The entire family asked for your prayers, and to please respect our privacy. I love you dad.“

Gabriel is best known for his time under center with the Los Angeles Rams. In 1962, he was drafted by both the AFL’s Oakland Raiders and the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams, with the first- and second- overall picks of each league’s draft, respectively. He would go on to sign with the Rams, where he would have plenty of individual success.

He would play 11 seasons in L.A., making it to three Pro Bowls and earning NFL MVP honors in 1969 after leading the entire league in touchdown passes. In 1973, he would join the Philadelphia Eagles, earning Comeback Player of the Year after throwing for the most yards and touchdowns among all quarterbacks in the league. He spent five seasons in Philly before calling it quits.

Unfortunately, he never got to win a championship and he wasn’t inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. However, he did have his number 18 retired by the South Carolina Gamecocks, and he is also enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame.

Joe Burrow is considered one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL today. He is, in many ways, a top-10 signal caller and has been since the Cincinnati Bengals took him first overall in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Being a top NFL quarterback comes with its perks. Burrow lives his life in the public eye, making millions, and he is considered attractive by the NFL faithful, which may explain why he is able to garner some praise for his looks.

According to multiple sources, the Bengals star reportedly split with his long-time girlfriend, Olivia Holzmacher. He is allegedly hooking up with an OnlyFans model just a week after the break-up rumors surfaced.

The rumors have heated up after a conversation on the Deux/U podcast, in which the host claimed that a “friend of a friend” had been hanging out with Burrow and Nick Bosa in Florida, seemingly implying that Burrow and Holzmacher have been apart for months.

Is Joe Burrow Hooking Up With Babydoll?

The conversion was sparked by the hosts answering Instagram questions. A screenshot from the podcast’s story claimed that Burrow is hooking up with a creator named Babydoll, an OnlyFans model from Los Angeles.

It has all yet to be publicly confirmed by Joe himself or his representatives, but his love life remains a hot topic nonetheless. Fans of the Bengals quarterback will not rest till they know the whole story.

While all the off-field stuff continues, Burrow remains at the top of his game. He had 2,688 yards and 15 touchdowns compared to 6 interceptions in just 10 games before going down with an injury.

Burrow’s on-the-field play earned him an extension at the beginning of last season, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history. He earned a salary of $52.5 million per year over five seasons. The contract is well deserved if his recent stats have anything to say.
