KANSAS City Chiefs legend has died at the age of 80.
The former NFL wide receiver passed away after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Chiefs owner Clark Hunt confirmed the sad news on Friday.
“The Kansas City Chiefs organization is saddened by the passing of Otis Taylor.
“My family and I would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to Otis’ wife Regina, his sister Odell and the entire Taylor family as we mourn his passing.
“Otis was a Chief throughout his 11-year career, and he played an integral part in the early success of our franchise.
Taylor was drafted by the Chiefs in the AFL draft and by the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL in 1965.
But he chose to play in Kansas City, where he spent his entire 11-year career.
The receiver helped the Chiefs win two AFL championships between the league’s merger with the NFL.
In 1970, Taylor and Kansas City triumphed in Super Bowl IV, beating the Minnesota Vikings 23-7.
A year later, he led the NFL in receiving yards and made the first of his two Pro Bowl appearances.
Taylor ended his career with 410 receptions for 7,306 receiving yards and 57 receiving touchdowns.
