Like others. I only saw a handful of highlights of him playing. But he was a huge part of my sports viewing life growing up on Inside the NFL.

Sad day news. Thoughts for him and his family 

When he won the AFL vs. NFL 4th SB he was a hero.  Great team leader.

…or more likely,  locker room immediately after game ended. 

 

That photo is actually from halftime of SB IV.  (or 1...not sure, but it's one of them)

 

I grew up watching him on inside the NFL....I could NOT miss that show.  

 

Notable, that in Todays NFL...it would be hard to produce another Len Dawson...great athlete, but got stuck behind at the back end of the depth chart in Pittsburg and Clevleland before getting a shot in KC.  Todays CAP and rookie scale make it so much less likely.  Makes me wonder a bit how many guys might be out there...maybe stuck on a bench or discarded too early because the scenario is just not the same now.  

 

Anyhow.  RIP to Kansas City's first football hero.  He'll be missed.
