Dont know anything about him, but sad to hear.

He holds the team record for longest punt return: 98 yards for a TD against the St. Louis Cardinals in 1974.

It was also an NFL Record at the time, but has since been surpassed.

Dont know anything about him, but sad to hear.

Although he was only with the team for one year, I think, I still remember him. Not sure why a player of his short tenure who barely played 40 years ago would stick in my brain, but he did. God be with you, Dennis.

Although he was only with the team for one year, I think, I remember him as a player. Not sure why a player of his short tenure who played 40 years ago would stick in my brain, but he did. God be with you, Dennis.

1975 is really my starting point as remembering players. Looks like he was an Eagle that year.

Yes. I'm pretty sure he only played for two years, total. One with Big D and one with lowly P.

He was before my fandom, but the name does sound familiar. Sounds like he followed the Cowboys until the day he died, literally. May he rest in peace.

Looks like Lou Ferigno...............

Punt return was a bright spot in the rare playoff-less in 1974. 8-6 and the year of the Mad Bomber. RIP
