From ESPN‘s Mike Triplett:
NEW ORLEANS — Tight end Henry Childs, who still ranks as one of the New Orleans Saints‘ all-time great pass-catchers, died Friday night at the age of 65, the team confirmed.
Childs died of a heart attack, according to John D. Archbold Memorial Hospital in Thomasville, Georgia.
A Pro Bowler in 1979, Childs was elected to the Saints’ Hall of Fame in 1994. He had 3,224 receiving yards and 27 touchdown catches in seven years with the Saints — both of which rank among the top 10 in Saints history and second among tight ends.
