Fred Dean, the fearsome pass rusher who helped launch the San Francisco 49ers' dynasty in the 1980s, has died at 68 after one former teammate said he was in the hospital battling coronavirus.

His death on Wednesday night was confirmed Thursday by the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Dean was hospitalized last week with the coronavirus and was on a ventilator in intensive care, according to former teammate Dwight Hicks.

Dean was an undersized pass rusher who began his career as a second-round pick with the San Diego Chargers in 1975 and ended it in the Hall of Fame after being named an All-Pro twice and making four Pro Bowls.
