Lawrence Glen "Larry" Bowie (October 13, 1939 – December 31, 2012) was a National Football League (NFL) guard. He was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the sixth round of the 1962 NFL draft.[2] He played college football at Purdue.
Bowie's 92-game career was cut short in November 1968 when he underwent emergency brain surgery to deal with a suspected blood clot.[3] Bowie had been bothered by headaches and nausea for over a week and was admitted to Miller Hospital for observation following a Wednesday practice.[3]
