Jets/Titans Great Larry Grantham, No. 60, Dies

Larry Grantham, who starred at outside linebacker for the first 13 seasons of the Jets' existence, including of course in Super Bowl III, and was inducted into the Ring of Honor in 2011, has died. He was 78.

"I had 13 wonderful years in New York, even with the Titans," Grantham, who always wore his iconic uniform No. 60, reminisced in 2011 before he entered the Ring. "Sometimes we didn't get paid, but we had great times, and Sammy Baugh was one of the greatest coaches I ever played for. They're all outstanding memories for me. I still get excited when I get fan mail.
