Paul Rochester died in Jacksonville, FL, on Sunday, June 7 at age 81. He won a Super Bowl with the 1968 Jets and an AFL Championship with the 1962 Dallas Texans. He was signed as an UDFA by the Cowboys in 1960. Although he played in the College All-Star Game, the Cowboys released him before the regular season.

I don't usually post about UDFAs who never made the team, but in the pic below, Rochester (wearing #72) is consistently misidentified as Bill Herchmann. Google pix of Herchmann and Rochester and you can easily tell who #72 really is.
