Bob Kalsu

Bob Kalsu was a football player at the University of Oklahoma in the mid-'60s and participated in the ROTC program. He was drafted by the woeful Buffalo Bills as an offensive guard. But he played only one year, 1968, before entering the service, thus missing out on being a part of the "Electric Company" — the offensive lineman who opened up holes for Hall of Fame running back O.J. Simpson, beginning in 1969.

Kalsu was killed by mortar fire in Vietnam in July 1970, at the age of 25.

Amen. Bob Kalsu was the only professional athlete to die in combat during the Vietnam War.

 

I had never even heard of him until the SI cover story a couple of years ago.
