The year of 2021 has not been exceptionally well to professional athletes. For whatever reason, it seems like we have seen more athletes die in 2021 than ever before. Every week it seems like we are reporting on the loss of an athlete, whether it bein the NFL, NHL, NBA or MLB.

The most recent tragic news comes from the Denver Broncos organization. It was announced earlier this month that former Pro Bowler Otis Armstrong had passed away.

Former Broncos’ RB and the team's 1973 first-round pick, Otis Armstrong, passed away Wednesday, the team announced. He was 70 years old.
