Don Perkins, a six-time Pro Bowl running back with the Dallas Cowboys in the 1960s, died on Thursday. He was 84.
The Cowboys and the University of New Mexico, where Perkins was a standout player before his professional career, announced the death. Neither announcement said where he died, and neither cited the cause.
Perkins rushed for 6,217 yards in 107 games with the Cowboys from 1961 to 1968. He is fourth on the team’s career list behind two Pro Football Hall of Famers — Emmitt Smith, the N.F.L. career rushing leader, and Tony Dorsett — and the Cowboys’ current running back, Ezekiel Elliott.
