Pro Football Hall of Fame safety Kenny Easley died Friday evening, his family told the Hall. Easley, who starred for the Seattle Seahawks from 1981 to 1987, was 66 years old.
“Kenny Easley would have been a dominant safety in any era,” a statement from Hall of Fame president and CEO Jim Porter read Saturday.
“When he was enshrined in 2017, he took his rightful place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and embraced his football immortality. Kenny possessed excellent ball skills, but make no mistake: His biggest strengths were his fearlessness and intensity. If you had the ball as an opposing offensive player, he was going to hit you hard — and you were going to feel it for a while.
“The Hall of Fame staff sends its condolences to Kenny’s wife, Gail, and the entire Easley family.”
