Bob “the Boomer” Brown died at 81 on Friday night in Oakland, California.
Legendary offensive tackle Bob Brown died at 81 on Friday night in Oakland, California, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced Saturday.
The six-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro — who was nicknamed “the Boomer” — was described as a “fierce” competitor by the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “Yet off the field, he demonstrated a quiet, soft-spoken and caring nature that his son, Robert Jr., captured eloquently when he presented his dad for enshrinement in 2004. The Hall extends its thoughts and prayers to CeeCee and Robert Jr. for their loss.”Bob “the Boomer” Brown was the Raiders’ offensive tackle in 1972.Sporting News via Getty Images
