At 72 he lived considerably longer than the average NFL player.

Not only a great football player but most importantly a great man. He will be missed by all of his fans
I noticed that when he scored, he accepted the congratulations from the fans and teammates without any of the posturing, dancing and silliness so common in the players of today when they score, even when they make a first down. Look at me, look at me! mentality.
He epitomized the adage: "act like you've done it before." Bear Bryant.

"Don't be sad that a man like this has died. Be glad that a man like this has lived."

General George Patton.
