Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Ross Browner, a starter on the 1981 AFC Champions and one of the best pass rushers in franchise history, has died at the age of 67.
Browner played nine seasons with the Bengals, and he ranks fifth all-time in Bengals history with 59 career sacks.
He led the team in sacks in three different seasons and averaged almost seven sacks per year with Cincinnati. The Bengals picked Browner with the eighth overall pick in the 1978 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame, and he became a starter during his rookie season.
