Terry Tausch, who played guard for the Vikings for seven seasons and won a Super Bowl with San Francisco, died Wednesday night at his home in Plano, Texas. He was 61.
His brother, Gary, told the CBS affiliate in San Antonio that Tausch died unexpectedly in his home.
Tausch was a two-time All-America at Texas who played for the Vikings from 1982-88, starting 68 games. He was taken in the second round, 39th overall, in 1982 in a draft where the Vikings got running back Darrin Nelson seventh overall.
"He was a great guy," Gary Tausch told KENS5 news.
