The Worcester
Telegram has a story on Milt Morin, a native of Leominster, passing
away. The 6-foot-5, 250-pounder was not only a standout tight end at
UMass, catching passes from future NFL star Greg Landry of Nashua, N.H.,
but also played defense and was the team's placekicker. He also earned
varsity letters in lacrosse and wrestling, winning the New England
heavyweight title in 1965.
The Cleveland
Plain-Dealer has a story on the passing Milt Morin. Morin was the
Browns' first-round pick in 1966, and played 10 years for the team. He
was set to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame this
weekend. "He could have played tight end in this era," said Paul
Warfield, recently retiring as a Browns consultant. "He'd be worth his
weight in gold because most teams have a tight end who can catch, or a
tight end who can block. Milt was such a good blocker, we ran Leroy
Kelly's sweeps around his end. He could run precise patterns, and he
could blow you off the ball with his blocks."
