Ex-Raider backup QB David Humm dead at 65
David Humm, who in his 10-year NFL career as a quarterback won more Super Bowl rings with the Raiders (two) than he made starts (one), has died. He was 65.
According to the Lincoln Journal Star in Nebraska — where Humm was the Cornhuskers’ starter in 1972-74 — the cause of death was complications related to multiple sclerosis.
“The entire Raiders Family is deeply saddened to learn of David Humm’s passing,” the team said. “David was a true Raider in every sense and the heart of the Raider Nation goes out to his family at this time.”
Humm, a Las Vegas native, was a fifth-round pick by the Raiders out of Nebraska in 1975. He finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy balloting in his senior season.
