I wonder how many players on the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl I and II team is still alive. I think at least all the stars (hall of famers) are all now dead.

Hornung is still going, possibly the only big name left?

There were 18 players left from the first Super Bowl team when I looked it up back in April, though I didn’t list them all out. So I guess 17 now, plus one coach.

Titus Davis, who broke Antonio Brown's receiving and touchdown records at Central Michigan died at 27 from a deadly form of kidney cancer.

He was the younger brother of Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis.

He would’ve gotten a QO btw. I imagine a few folk were considering him (a research miss on my end though)

Another Hall of Famer dead. He was the 1956 Heisman Trophy winner at Notre Dame.

https://www.wave3.com/2020/11/13/paul-hornung-football-legend-louisville-native-dies-age/

"Hornung led the Fighting Irish in passing, rushing, scoring, kickoff returns, punt returns and punting. On defense, he led the team in passes broken up and was second in tackles and interceptions".

 

He also led the league in orange peeling, butt slapping and flounder tramping. They don't make em like that no more.
