Gene Upshaw Dead

Here are some news about Gene Upshaw Death

Multiple news outlets are reporting that Gene Upshaw, the Oakland Raiders Hall of Famer has died of age 63.

Upshaw’s death was first reported by Jim Riggio of Clear Channel, who reported that Upshaw had pancreatic cancer. At 8:30 Upshaw’s death was confirmed.

Jets FB Tony Richardson is on the NFLPA board and said that Upshaw could be funny in private, just one of the guys, and he was never one to advertise his status as a Hall of Famer.

Like Richardson, most players were shocked when they heard the news.
