Former NFL tight end Dick Lucas, who was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles' 1960 NFL Championship team, died Friday at the age of 86 from complications related to COVID-19.

The Eagles made the official announcement on Lucas and added that his "legacy is that of a hard-working and humble family man."

Lucas played five NFL seasons, one with the Pittsburgh Steelers and four with the Eagles. He amassed career-highs with 19 receptions and 236 yards in 1962. The year before, Lucas had five touchdowns despite making only eight catches.
