Philadelphia Eagles legend Pete Retzlaff, who won an NFL championship with the franchise in 1960, died at the age of 88 on Friday.
Eagles chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie issued a statement through the team's official website:
"We are saddened to learn of the passing of Eagles Hall of Famer Pete Retzlaff. Pete was a revolutionary tight end and one of the most productive players in the history of our franchise. He was a five-time Pro Bowler, a key contributor on our 1960 Championship team, and of course his number 44 was retired after he established numerous receiving records over his 11-year career.
