Who was the 60-Year-Old Veteran?

He gave incredible contribution to the sport as Bill McGovern was longtime college and NFL defensive coach. He worked as UCLA's defensive coordinator last season. Apart from his accolades as a coach, McGovern also gained a lot of accolades in his career as a football player. He played at Holy Cross and set an NCAA D-1 record for 11 interceptions in 1984. While he was in a great place in his career, sadly, he was fighting a personal battle with cancer. He recently passed away at the age of 60.
