Former Kansas City Chiefs tight end Walter White — perhaps better known to modern Chiefs fans as a Kansas City Ambassador — has died at the age of 67.
A native of Charlottesville, Virginia, White played his college football at Maryland, and was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round of the 1975 NFL draft. He was picked up by the Chiefs on waivers before the season began.
White played in 63 games during his five-year Chiefs career, recording 2,396 yards and 16 touchdowns on 163 receptions. He was named the club’s Mack Lee Hill Award winner as the team’s top rookie after the 1975 season.
