Breaking Green Bay Packers Legend QB Bart Starr Dead At 85

GREEN BAY, WI. (THECOUNT) — Bart Starr, the Green Bay Packers iconic quarterback and catalyst of Vince Lombardi’s legendary teams of the 1960s, has died. He was 85.

The Packers announced Sunday that Starr had died, citing his family. He had been in failing health since suffering a serious stroke in 2014.

The Packers chose Starr out of the University of Alabama with the 200th pick in the 1956 draft, and after Lombardi’s arrival in 1959, Starr led Green Bay to six division titles, five NFL championships and wins in the first two Super Bowls, reports Fox5DC.
