Billy Cannon, a star on the Raiders’ first Super Bowl team and the first of seven Heisman Trophy winners to play for the Raiders, died on Sunday. He was 80.
Cannon was an All-Pro tight end for the Raiders in 1967, leading them with 10 touchdowns, helping them win their only American Football League title before their Super Bowl II loss to the Packers.
“The Raiders family is saddened to learn of the passing of Billy Cannon,” the Raiders said in a statement.
