Denver Broncos legend Lionel Taylor died at age 89, the team announced, after a record-breaking seven-season career with 543 receptions and 6,872 receiving yards.

Lionel Taylor, an original Denver Bronco and a member of the team's Ring of Fame, has died, according to the team. Taylor, who was 89, died Aug. 6, his family confirmed to the Broncos. He was a member of the 1960 Broncos -- the first year the franchise played in the then-newly formed AFL -- and was the first receiver in either AFL or NFL history to have at least 100 receptions in a season.
