Len St. Jean, a longtime starter along the Patriots’ offensive line and member of their All-AFL Team, has died. As was announced by the organization on Tuesday, he recently passed away at the age of 83.
Born on October 27, 1941 in Newberry, MI, St. Jean spent his college career at Northern Michigan. He eventually received two opportunities to turn pro in 1964: besides getting drafted 237th overall by the Green Bay Packers in the 17th round of the NFL Draft, he also was picked 68th overall in the ninth round of the AFL Draft by the Boston Patriots.
