WASHINGTON — Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Sonny Jurgensen, a four-time All-Pro, and a member of the Washington Commanders Ring of Fame, has died. He was 91.

Jurgensen is widely looked at as one of the best pure passers in NFL history. He spent 11 seasons in the Burgundy & Gold, retiring after leading the league in passing three times, totaling over 32,000 career passing yards to go along with 255 touchdown passes. That resume was good enough to secure a place on the NFL's 1960s All-Decade Team and eventually, the hall of fame in Canton, Ohio.

The Wilmington, North Carolina native came to D.C. from Philadelphia in a 1964 trade that sent Norm Snead and Claude Crabb to the Eagles. That would go down as one of the most important trades in franchise history, bringing the team a true star at the quarterback position.
