The NFL community took to social media on Thursday to react to the passing of Hall of Fame running back O.J. Simpson.
The family Hall of Fame running back O.J. Simpson announced Thursday that the former Buffalo Bills star died after battling prostate cancer, prompting reactions from around the NFL community. He was 76. Simpson, whose illustrious NFL career was overshadowed by the trial and eventual acquittal in the 1994 killings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, passed away on Wednesday, his family confirmed in a statement posted on X.
His on-field contributions will be preserved in the Hall’s archives in Canton, Ohio.' Simpson was drafted by the Bills with the first overall pick out of USC in 1969. He led the league in rushing four times from 1972 to 1976, during which time he was voted league MVP in 1973. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.
