Legendary former Dallas Cowboys linebacker, Lee Roy Jordan, passes away.
Lee Roy Jordan, a key member of the Dallas Cowboys' fabled "Doomsday Defense" and a three-time Super Bowl champion, passed away on Saturday at the age of 84. The news of his death was reported by the Dallas Morning News, with his son, David, confirming the sad news.
Jordan, who hailed from Alabama, was drafted by the Cowboys with the sixth overall pick in the 1963 draft. His selection was significant, marking the beginning of a storied career that would span over a decade with the team.
