Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Charley Taylor, who made eight Pro Bowls during a 14-year NFL career spent entirely with Washington's NFL team, has died at the age of 80.

The Washington Commanders announced the news Saturday.

Taylor suited up for Washington from 1964-1977 and amassed 10,598 yards from scrimmage and 90 touchdowns. He earned Rookie of the Year honors in 1964 after posting 1,569 yards and 10 scores.

Taylor split time between running back and wide receiver over his first three years before moving to the latter position for the remainder of his career.
