Rest In Peace - Freddie Solomon

Fine football player, by most accounts a HOF human being.

ESPN has the story up but this version from the Tampa Tribune is a more thorough telling of things.

Tampa legend Freddie Solomon, 59, dies | TBO.com

One of my boyhood favorites as well, except when he played the Cowboys. Loved his catches in stride.
