Gilmer passed away at age 90 on Saturday morning at his small farm outside of St. Louis, the city that became home during his long tenure as an assistant coach and scout for the NFL Cardinals. However, the former Woodlawn High School star in Birmingham and Crimson Tide great never lost his love for Alabama -- and longtime UA fans never forgot him, his dazzling kick returns or his famous jump pass.

One of the earliest legendary players at Bama. He will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace Mr. Gilmer.

He was Alabama's only NFL #1 draft pick; a college football Hall of Famer, and one of only 4 Alabama players to be in the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame.

A Bama legend.
