Legendary Denver Broncos receiver Lionel Taylor has died, the organization announced on Wednesday. He was 89 years old.

Former Denver Broncos wide receiver Lionel Taylor has died at age 89, the team said Wednesday.

Taylor's historic 1961 season came just after he caught 92 passes on the Broncos' inaugural 1960 team, making him the only pro football player to ever lead a league with 90 or more receptions in two separate seasons -- a feat which would not be matched again until Sterling Sharpe had three between 1989 and 1993.
