Alabama native Fred Cone, Clemson and Packers star, dead at age 95

Pine Apple native Fred Cone never played a snap of high school football, but he went on to earn a place in the Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame and the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.

The Packers announced on Friday that Cone died at age 95 on Friday morning of complications from a broken hip while hospitalized in Seneca, South Carolina, not far from his home in Pickens.

At the time of his death, Cone was the oldest living former Packers player.

Cone played for Green Bay from 1951 through 1957 as a kicker and a fullback.
