Paul Hornung, the Hall of Fame halfback and kicker for the Green Bay Packers and one of the NFL's best ever all-purpose players, passed away Friday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame confirmed. He was 84.

Nicknamed The Golden Boy, Hornung won four NFL championships, including Super Bowl I, while starring for Vince Lombardi's teams in the 1960s. Hornung spent his entire 10-year playing career with the Packers, earning two All-Pro and Pro Bowl selections apiece and the 1961 MVP.

The Notre Dame product was the first pick in the 1957 NFL Draft after winning the Heisman Trophy. Hornung became the first player to achieve those feats, win a league MVP and be inducted into the pro and college football halls of fame.

Around The NFL will have more on this story shortly.
