Another good one - darn.  I got his autograph when I was about 12 and he came to our town to speak at a FCA meeting.  He was a great running back.  Would also recommend the movie 'Brian's Song' about him and his teammate Brian Piccolo. 

^^^I think that the original ('71) is much better than the remake.

Davis co-starred in one of the most underrated sports movies of all time, North Dallas Forty.

Another player from my youth gone.

In the last month we have lost Tom Seaver, Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, Whitey Ford and Joe Morgan. This absolutely sucks.

Not sure. I'm pretty sure I remember him being sick a few years ago but can't remember the details.
