Six-time Pro Bowler and Minnesota Vikings Ring of Honor member Matt Blair has died at the age of 70.
Blair died Thursday, according to the team.
"Matt Blair was a great presence at Vikings events and a tremendous teammate long after playing. He embodied the best of what it means to be a Viking," said Vikings owner Mark Wilf in a statement. "Matt is a Ring of Honor player whose legacy will live on forever with the franchise and in the community he loved."
Blair, a linebacker, was drafted in the second round out of Iowa State in 1974 and played all 12 of his NFL autumns with the Vikings, racking up 1,452 tackles, per Minnesota -- which is second in team chronicle.
From 1977 to 1982, Blair made it to six consecutive Pro Bowls with a 1980 All-Pro selection. Possessing a nose for the ball, Blair totaled 16 career interceptions and 20 fumble recoveries.

This is not a pro player but still a sad sad story
Former Boston University hockey player Travis Roy, who was paralyzed after an injury in 1995 and became a philanthropist for spinal cord injury treatment, has died at 45.
A family spokesperson told WCVB in Boston that Roy died in Vermont due to complications from a procedure he needed to maintain his quality of life.
Roy slid headfirst into the boards just 11 seconds into his first shift for BU on Oct. 20, 1995. He cracked his fourth vertebra, which left him a quadriplegic. Roy had since regained movement in his right arm, which he used to control the joystick that maneuvered his wheelchair.
