The NFL is mourning the passing of Hall of Fame linebacker Kevin Greene, who passed away on Monday. The cause of death remains unknown as of press time.

Greene, born in Schenectady in 1962, spent 15 seasons in the league from 1985-99 with the Los Angeles Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers, and San Francisco 49ers. In recent years, Greene was a defensive coach with Green Bay and the Jets.

Toward the end of his career, Greene dabbled in pro wrestling, appearing in a couple of WCW pay-per-views, including a match against former Chicago Bears star Steve McMichael, who made a smoother transition to the mat game.

Rest in peace, Kevin.
