PrintAccording to Yahoo Sports the NFL will honor the Great #63 this year.
NFL players will wear a uniform patch this season to honor NFL Players’ Association leader Gene Upshaw, who died Aug. 20.
The league announced Monday that the patch will have the initials GU and the number 63, which he wore while playing for the Oakland Raiders.
It is about time I was beginning to wonder what they were going to do for him. I am glad to see the players honor the man who has done soo much for them and this league. He took alot of flack on the retirement issue but he also made them fatter in the pockets. It's sad that it took his death to get people to recognize the good he has done.
