Hall Of Famer,

Dies At 78
The marriage between Cam Newton and the New England Patriots looks like it'll last just one season as the two sides are expected to part ways this offseason, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Former Denver Broncos running back Floyd Little died Friday at the age of 78, ac- cording to his family.

Little played his entire nine-year NFL career with the Broncos, having been selected sixth in the 1967 AFL-NFL draft. In Denver, he was given the nickname, "The Fran- chise" and was elected team captain as a rookie.
Little rushed for more than 6,000 yards and scored 43 touchdowns for the Bron- cos.
His best season was 1971 when he won the NFL rushing title with 1,133 yards while playing on a team that finished last in its division with a record of 4-9-1.
Little made the Pro Bowl five times and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010.
In his Hall of Fame induc- tion speech, he urged listeners to never give up on their dreams.
