Hall of Famer Kevin Greene, third all-time in sacks, dies at 58
Hall of Fame linebacker Kevin Greene, considered one of the fiercest pass-rushers in NFL history, has died. He was 58.
Greene died Monday, the family confirmed, as did the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
No cause of death was given.
"The entire Pro Football Hall of Fame family mourns the passing of Kevin Greene," Hall of Fame president and CEO David Baker said in a statement Monday. "I regarded him as a personal friend and a true Hall of Famer in every sense. He possessed the most incredible can-do attitude of anyone I ever met. He was a great player, but more than that, he was a great man."
Known for his long blond locks, his relentless pursuit of the quarterback and his omnipresent charisma -- which helped him in his brief career as a professional wrestler -- Greene made the most of his skills.
"I wasn't the biggest [and] I wasn't fastest,'' Greene once said. "But as long as you have a motor, you have heart ... that will overcome any physical limitations.''

We liked him in Carolina.

Re: RIP Kevin Greene
I loved watching him play during his time with the Rams.
Two things I did not realize:
1) He was a few years younger than me.
2) He had reached 3rd on the all-time sacks list.
RIP, Kevin.
