Mystery Surrounds Death of NFL Legend: Hall of Fame Linebacker Passes at 77
Kiner, who is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame and the University of Tennessee Athletics Hall of Fame, was 77 years old. A native of Sandstone, Minnesota, he was a two-time All-American for the Vols, including a unanimous All-American selection in 1969, his final collegiate season.
“We are deeply saddened by the passing of Steve Kiner, a true legend of our game,” said Archie Manning, chairman of the National Football Foundation. “Steve’s remarkable career at Tennessee was defined by toughness, leadership, and excellence, and he leaves behind a legacy that extends well beyond the football field.
