So sad

He was an excellent FB.

I always remembered how big his legs were.

But he was still a good guy all around.

especially with mid-level celebs. Don't feel bad. Only reason I questioned it was his age. At 64, he would have been born in 1956 which would have made him 19 in that first Steelers-Cowboys SB in 1975.

Anyway RIP. It's amazing how many players from those Landry Cowboys remain familiar names to fans 40 some years later. Even more so than the Steelers and Raiders of that era.
