A former Miami Dolphins player who won two Super Bowl championships has passed away at the age of 79. The unnamed athlete was part of the historic 1972 Dolphins squad that completed the NFL's only perfect season, winning Super Bowl VII, and repeated as champions in Super Bowl VIII.
The 1972 Miami Dolphins remain the only team in NFL history to finish a season undefeated, going 17-0 including playoffs. Members of that championship team were honored at the White House by President Obama in a 2013 ceremony recognizing their achievement decades later.
Further details regarding the player's identity, cause of death, and specific contributions to the Dolphins' dynasty were not immediately available.
