Some sad news to report concerning one of the giants of NFL coaching.
Former offensive lineman turned legendary offensive line coach Howard Mudd has passed away due to injuries he suffered in a motorcycle accident two weeks ago. Mudd was in intensive care at a Seattle hospital and unfortunately his condition took a fatal turn for the worse.
Mudd was a three-time Pro Bowl guard and a member of the 1960s All-Decade Team before a knee injury ended his playing career. As a coach, he’s been nothing short of spectacular and universally respected.
