College Football Hall of Famer Loyd Phillips died Sunday following complications from a stroke, the University of Arkansas announced. He was 75.
Phillips was named an All-American in 1965 and 1966 before joining the Chicago Bears for two years as the No. 10 overall pick in the 1967 draft.
In a statement from Arkansas vice chancellor and director of athletics Hunter Yuracheck, the AD called Phillips one of the school's true legends:
“Loyd Phillips was a ferocious competitor for Coach Frank Broyles in what was a truly golden era of Razorback Football. As his accomplishments attest, he established himself among the best to ever play college football.
