Pro Football Hall of Famer Cortez Kennedy passed away at the age of 48, the Orlando Police Department said Tuesday. ESPN reported that police said Kennedy's death wasn't suspicious but they are investigating.
Kennedy, an eight-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle, spent his entire 11-year career with the Seattle Seahawks from 1990 to 2000. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2012.
The Seahawks retired Kennedy's No. 96 the same year.
The 1992 Defensive Player of the Year totaled 58 career sacks along with 448 tackles, six forced fumbles, five recoveries and three interceptions over his 167 career games.
Kennedy was named to the Associated Press' 1990s All-Decade Team and was an All-America honoree during his playing career at Miami. He was a member of the Hurricanes' national championship team in 1989.
