Former Broncos WR Dolbin Jr. dies at age 70

DENVER -- Jack Dolbin Jr., a wide receiver who was on the Denver Broncos' first Super Bowl team in 1977, had died at age 70.

Dolbin, who became a chiropractor, educator and lecturer after football, died Thursday at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest in Allentown, Pennsylvania, according to his obituary posted on legacy.com.

Born Dec. 12, 1948, in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, Dolbin took a circuitous route to the NFL, playing in three smaller leagues in the early 1970s before catching on with the Broncos five years after leaving Wake Forest, where he starred in football and track.
