Craig Morton, a trailblazing quarterback at both the college and professional levels, passed away on Saturday, May 9, at 83 years old. His family confirmed the news, with the two NFL teams Morton was most associated with—the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos—making the news public.

Morton is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, courtesy of his career at the University of California, Berkeley. He was an All-American there, left as the school’s all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns, and finished his college career as the then all-time leader in passing yards in the Pac-8.
