Pro Football Hall of Famer and legendary offensive tackle Bob Brown passed away Friday at the age of 81, according to a statement released by the Hall of Fame.
A Cleveland native, Brown committed to the University of Nebraska following a standout career at East Tech High School. He went on to have an All-American career at guard and was voted the best lineman of the year in 1963.
Brown was then taken No. 2 overall in the 1964 draft and somehow managed to exceed the hype, making nine All-Pro teams, six Pro Bowls and was a member of the NFL's 1960s all-decade team after a ten-year career with the Eagles, Rams and Raiders.
