The fearsome foursome were the defensive linemen for the LA Rams the early
60’s. Merlin Olsen was one of the four along with Deacon Jones, Rosey Grier and
Lamar Lundy. His Alma-Mater, Utah State University, erected a statue in his
honor, but Merlin died before he could compose an inscription. After his death, his family found a personal mission statement he had written which is now
inscribed on the statue.
