NFL Star Who Played in the First-Ever Super Bowl Dies at 85

Bobby Hunt, who played in the first-ever Super Bowl, has died at 85. The Kansas City Chiefs starter’s death was announced on Wednesday by the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame & Museum on Facebook. “The Alabama Sports Hall of Fame mourns the passing of 2015 Inductee Bobby Hunt,” the tribute reads. Hunt was a star on both offense and defense, playing quarterback and defensive back for the Auburn University Tigers from 1959 to 1961. He was picked in the 11th round of the 1962 draft by the Dallas Texans, the same year he led his team to win the championship and received First-Team All-Pro honors. The Texans were later sold and rebranded as the Kansas City Chiefs, on which Hunt remained until his final season in 1967. The Hall of Famer is best known for his 1964 four-interception game, for which he is tied for the most interceptions in a single game in all NFL history, and for his appearance in the first-ever Super Bowl. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends,” the post continues. There has not been a confirmed cause of death.
