Robert Brazile, nicknamed Dr. Doom, is an American former professional football linebacker who played in the National Football League from 1975 to 1984 for the Houston Oilers. Selected sixth overall in the 1975 draft, he won the league defensive rookie of the year award that season. He was named to the Pro Bowl seven straight seasons, was an All-Pro for five straight seasons from 1976 to 1980 and was chosen for the league all-decade team of the 1970s. His combination of size and speed made him a model for the outside linebacker in the 3-4 defense that coach Bum Phillips brought to Houston. Born in Mobile, Alabama, in 1953, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.
