Oilers great Kenny Burrough has passed away at the age of 73

Houston Oilers great and former wide receiver, Kenny Burrough, has passed away at the age of 73, his family announced on Thursday.

Tennessee Titans owner, Amy Adams Strunk, released a statement on the passing of Burrough:

“We have lost another great from the Luv Ya Blue era with the passing of Kenny Burrough,” Strunk said. “Kenny provided the aerial threat and the big plays for Bum Phillips’ Oiler teams, leading the league in receiving one season and earning two Pro Bowls over his 11 seasons in Houston. At the time of his retirement, he was the franchise leader in career receiving yards and he still ranks third currently. I will fondly remember his distinctive double zero jersey racing down the field on another long touchdown.
