Feb. 6 (UPI) -- Hall of Fame quarterback Sonny Jurgensen, who spent his career with the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins, has died, his family said Friday.
Jurgensen died Friday morning in Naples, Fla., after a stay in hospice. He was 91. His family did not provide a cause of death.
"We are enormously proud of his amazing life and accomplishments on the field, marked not only by a golden arm, but also a fearless spirit and intellect that earned him a place among the legends in Canton," Jurgensen's family said in a statement issued through the Washington Commanders.
"But to those of us who knew him beyond the stadium lights, he was the steady, humorous, and deeply loving heart of our family."
