Long-time Atlanta Falcons defensive end and Hall of Famer Claude Humphrey died Friday night, the Hall of Fame announced Saturday.
He was 77 years old.
"The whole family of the Pro Football Hall of Fame mourns the death of Claude Humphrey," said Jim Porter, president of the Hall of Fame.

His humble spirit guided him both in and out of the field. Our thoughts and prayers are with Claude's family at this difficult time. The Hall of Fame will forever retain its legacy.
Humphrey was one of the feared pass-through drivers of his generation and played 13 seasons in the NFL - 10 with the Falcons and three with the Philadelphia Eagles.
