Former “longtime and outstanding” New York Jets offensive linemen Marvin Powell and Jim Sweeney died last week, the team announced on Oct. 2.
Powell, a right tackle named first-team All-Pro three times in a career that spanned from the late 1970s through the mid-'80s, died on Sept. 30 at the age of 67, according to a press release published on the team’s website.
