Former Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears quarterback Bill Wade died Wednesday night. He was 85.
Adam Sparks of the Tennessean received confirmation of the news Thursday from Wade's daughter, Sharon Wade Kinser. She also provided a statement to the outlet: "Our family is celebrating that his sight is restored, that he is able to walk and run on the field again. He is free, and he is home. So much has been robbed of him in the last decade. To be able to know that he can see the beauty of heaven gives our family comfort.
