Former Cowboys OL Chris Schultz Dies at Age 61

Former Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Chris Schultz, who won the 1991 Grey Cup with the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonauts, died Thursday at the age of 61.

Neil Davidson of the Canadian Press reported Schultz, who worked on TSN's CFL coverage after his playing career, suffered a heart attack.

CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie released a statement saying the Ontario native's passing "leaves a giant-sized hole in the CFL family":

"We called Chris Schultz the Big Man for so many reasons beyond the obvious. He had a big personality. He could make you think as easily as he could make you laugh.
