Five time Pro Bowl selection and #91 rank of our Notinhalloffame.com football list, Todd Christensen passed away at the age of 57 due to complications from a liver transplant. The former Running Back from BYU transitioned slowly to the Tight End position, but once he acclimated to the spot, he was one of the NFL’s most productive players in a five year stretch in the 1980’s.
Christensen led the National Football League in Receptions twice (1983 & 1985) and set a record both times for catches by a Tight End. He was selected as First Team All Pro twice and a Second Team All Pro twice. Christensen retired after the 1988 season with 461 receptions for 5,872 yards and 41 touchdowns. He captured two Super Bowl rings with the Raiders in Super Bowl XV & XVIII.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com offer our condolences to the friends and family of Todd Christensen at this time.
