Lee Roy Selmon dead at 56

[Poiuyt]

all of Fame defensive end Lee Roy Selmon died Sunday, two days after suffering a massive stroke. He was 56.

Selmon, who played college ball at Oklahoma, spent nine seasons in the NFL, all with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team issued a statement on his passing.

"Tampa Bay has lost another giant," the Glazier family said. "This is an incredibly somber day for Buccaneer fans, Sooner fans, and all football fans. Lee Roy's standing as the first Buc in the Hall of Fame surely distinguished him, but his stature off the field as the consummate gentleman put him in another stratosphere.

3. Rest in peace Lee Roy.

Sooner and Buckeye fans are in mourning, for sure. I think all people who respect the game are in mourning, actually.
