This is a popular thread on another forum I frequent so I thought we'd start one here too and since we lost a HOFer today, I figured it's just as good a day as any to start something like this.
Rayfield Wright's family confirmed his passing today, following a several day stay in the hospital after a severe seizure. Wright, who was 76 years old, was diagnosed with dementia back in 2012 and has been battling seizures since he retired, presumably from taking shots to the head during his playing days. He was an offensive tackle for the Dallas Cowboys for 13 seasons, from 1967 to 1979, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006. May he rest in peace...
