Is he the Gafney that played QB in the mid 70’s?

RIP. He played at UF right before I can remember the games as a kid.

His older brother Don was the QB.

RIP I hate to hear this. I remember listening to the call on the radio when Collinsworth threw the pass. It seems more and more are leaving us. I guess I am just getting old.

My God bring peace and comfort to his loved ones. And thanks for the memories to Gator Nation.

Don, his brother, played QB.

Sad & too young.
What a great Gator family, though. Derrick a WR, brother Don a QB, son Jabar a WR and nephew Lito a DB.

I was there. I don't even remember who we played but I remember that play and thought we had found a new QB. 😂

That being said. RIP. Damn he is not much older than I am. Getting old sux.
