H. Brian Murray, 13th round, 1976, UA/Salpointe 

The All-WAC offensive lineman was released by the Cleveland Browns a week before the 1976 season. He signed to play for the CFL Calgary Stampeders in ’77, but was killed in April of that year when he slipped and fell about 100 feet at Chivo Falls near Redington Pass. “I could write 10 pages about him,” said his former Salpointe coach, Jerry Davitch. “He was a special guy.”
