Bob Dee

Robert Henry Dee (born May 18, 1933 in Quincy, Massachusetts) is a former three-sport letterman at Holy Cross College who was one of the first players signed by the Boston Patriots in 1960. Another example of a player misjudged by the NFL, he became an ironman of the American Football League who never missed a game during his career, starting 112 consecutive games. Despite equipment improvements over the years, Dee was a superstitious player who chose to wear the same helmet throughout his career (105 of 112 games). Dee scored the first touchdown in American Football League history when he dove onto a fumble in the end zone in an exhibition contest vs. Buffalo on September 7, 1960. He was voted to five American Football League All-Star teams (1961, 1963-65). Bob Dee is a member of the American Football League Hall of Fame.
