Tom Dempsey, a longtime NFL kicker who set a league record for longest kick that wasn't eclipsed until 2013, has died after a battle with the coronavirus, his family told The New Orleans Times-Picayune/Advocate. He was 73.
Dempsey tested positive for COVID-19 last month following an outbreak at the senior center where he lived in New Orleans, according to his daughter Ashley Dempsey.
Ashley Dempsey told The Times-Picayune/Advocate that her family was unable to be with her father — who had been battling Alzheimer's disease and dementia — as his condition worsened because residents of the center he was in were in quarantine.
