NFL legend Frank Gifford dies at 84

Pro Football Hall of Famer Frank Gifford, who led the New York Giants to the 1956 NFL championship, died Sunday. He was 84.

The NFL legend went on to a successful second career as a broadcaster on “Monday Night Football,” teaming up with Howard Cosell and Don Meredith in the TV booth.

According to a statement from Gifford’s family, Gifford died from natural causes. Gifford was a half-back and wide receiver for the New York Giants.

Back in 1956 he was league MVP and led his team to the Super Bowl, as well as being inducted into both the college football Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

But his career in the sports world didn’t stop there. After his playing days were over, Gifford was a long-time sports broadcaster.
