Tom Dempsey

He was 73 years old when he kicked the bucket on April 4. The NFL player died due to complications from his COVID-19 infection. While Tom Dempsey was born without toes on his right foot, this did not stop him from setting a field goal record in 1970! He once played for the Rams, the Bills, and the Eagles.

In 2018, the Kentucky assistant coach found out that they had bile-duct cancer. Even so, John Schlarman decided to continue working the O-line. It was partly thanks to his efforts that the team beat Tennessee in 2020. Unfortunately, he met his end only a month after that. He was only 45 years old at the time.
