A former college football star and NFL Hall of Famer has passed away this morning. He was 84.
Tommy McDonald, an All-American running back/wide receiver at Oklahoma and an NFL star for more than a decade, died this morning. The Professional Football Hall of Fame announced the sad news.
McDonald, a New Mexico native, was a two-time national champion and a two-time consensus All-American with the Sooners.
The running back/wide receiver was taken in the third round of the 1957 NFL Draft. He played for the Eagles from 1957-63 and later played for the Cowboys, Rams, Falcons and Browns.
McDonald was a six-time Pro Bowler and a four-time All-Pro. He twice led the NFL in receiving touchdowns.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
