Former Los Angeles Rams and New York Giants pass-catcher Del Shofner died Wednesday in Los Angeles at the age of 85.
Richard Goldstein of the New York Times reported the news, noting Shofner's daughter, Laurie Shofner Corwin, said he died of natural causes.
Shofner played collegiately at Baylor during a career that included a Sugar Bowl MVP in a victory over Tennessee. The Rams selected him in the first round of the 1957 NFL draft, and he went on to make five Pro Bowls and five All-Pro teams.
