Defensive Back Jack Tatum passed away on Tuesday in an Oakland hospital. He died of a massive heart attack; he was 61 years old.
Tatum was given the nickname “The Assassin because of the excruciating hits he would deliver on his opponents. Jack once paralyzed New England wide receiver Darryl Stingley and, notoriously, never apologize for that tackle.
It is safe to say that Jack played football with such intensity which is rarely seen now a days.
