Len St. Jean, a former star offensive lineman for the New England Patriots, passed away at the age of 83. Born in Newberry, MI, he joined the NFL after being drafted by both the Packers and Patriots in 1964, choosing the latter. Over a decade-long career, he played 140 games, primarily as a right guard, and earned accolades, including a spot on the AFL All-Star Team. Known for his dedication, St. Jean was admired for his remarkable work ethic and consistent performance, ultimately becoming a beloved figure in Patriots history.
"I had good quickness and good speed and good upper body strength, but the work ethic was probably my biggest asset. I loved practice."
"It's an accomplishment, but it's being very fortunate, too. I always stayed in pretty good shape, which might have had something to do with it."
