Hall of Fame defensive end Gino Marchetti has died at 92, his wife told the Baltimore Sun.
“I kissed him and he knew me and smiled,” Joan Marchetti told the paper. “That was Gino’s way of saying goodbye.”
Gino Marchetti played 13 seasons with the Baltimore Colts, winning two championships (1958 and 1959). He played his first season in the NFL with the Dallas Texans, who drafted him in 1952 with the 14th overall pick.
Marchetti was an 11-time Pro Bowler and seven-time first-team All-Pro.
He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1972.
