Former Denver Broncos defensive lineman Harald Hasselbach, one of at least 10 players to have won both a Super Bowl and the CFL's Grey Cup, has died of cancer at age 56, his family announced Thursday.
The family said Hasselbach had been diagnosed with metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma.
Hasselbach, a starter in Super Bowl XXXIII who also won a ring in Super Bowl XXXII, was coaching defensive line at Regis Jesuit High School in Aurora, Colorado. The team was informed of Hasselbach's death on Thursday morning.
"We'd like to make it known that he passed from cancer peacefully in the comfort of his home, free of pain," Hasselbach's family said in a statement.
