Longtime cornerback and broadcaster Irv Cross died on Sunday near his Minnesota home, the Philadelphia Eagles announced.
He was 81.
The Eagles are saddened to learn of the passing of Irv Cross.
Cross spent nine seasons in the league from 1961-69, first with the Eagles after they picked him up in the seventh round of the 1961 draft. Cross played his first five seasons in the NFL with the Eagles before a brief three-year stint with the Los Angeles Rams starting in 1996. He then returned to Philadelphia for one final season before retiring in 1969.
