Former NFL Player Komlo Killed in Crash

A former NFL quarterback, William “Jeff” Komlo, was killed in a car crash in Greece yesterday. I don’t remember Komlo personally, but he did play for the Lions, Falcons, and Bucs, and was in the league from 1979 to 1983.

This guy is a pretty interesting character, because he failed to show up for a court dates on drunk driving charges in 2005. Apparently “two suspicious fires” and “years spent on the lam” made authorities wonder if Komlo was really dead or had faked his death with this crash. They did, however, identify his body using fingerprint identification.

Never a dull moment when it comes to the NFL.
