Former Green Bay Packers tight end Rich McGeorge passed away on Saturday at the age of 77. McGeorge played for the Packers for nine seasons and held the franchise record for most career catches by a tight end at the time of his retirement.
The Packers selected McGeorge with the 16th overall pick in the 1970 NFL Draft out of Elon College. He was the focal point of Elon’s passing attack and was later inducted in the school’s Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame. They later retired his number 85. In Green Bay, he wore number 81.
