After a stellar college football career, he spent 11 years with the Dolphins. He caught a touchdown pass in 1973 that concluded the team’s 17-0 season.

Original Miami Dolphin Howard Twilley, who caught a touchdown pass in the Super Bowl to cap the historic 17-0 season in 1972, has died.

Twilley was runner-up for the Heisman Trophy during his time at Tulsa before he was picked by the Dolphins in the 12th round of the 1966 AFL draft. While he was also selected in 14th round of the NFL draft by the Minnesota Vikings, Twilley chose Miami where he spent his entire 11-year professional career.
