Gil Brandt, Legendary NFL Scout and Hall of Famer, Dies at 91

Gil Brandt, one of the most legendary figures in the history of NFL scouting, died Thursday at the age of 91.
Brandt spent 28 years with the Dallas Cowboys in various capacities, and continued to share his wealth of scouting knowledge and experience in recent years as an employee of NFL Media. Early in his career, he spent time working for the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams.
He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2019.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones released the following statement on Brandt's passing:
"We are so deeply saddened by the passing of Gil Brandt – a true icon and pioneer of our sport. Gil was at the very core of the early success of the Dallas Cowboys and continued to serve as a great ambassador for the organization for decades beyond that. His contributions cemented his spot in the Ring of Honor. He was my friend and a mentor not only to me, but to countless executives, coaches, players and broadcasters across the National Football League, which rightfully earned him a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame where his legacy will be celebrated forever.
He was an innovator and set the standard for excellence in player acquisition. From the creation of the NFL Combine to revolutionizing the NFL Draft, Gil finished his over six-decade NFL career with an eye towards the future of the league and teaching fans about the sport he loved as a radio broadcaster. Gil was as good a storyteller as it gets, with a memory as sharp as a tack. His dedication to, and passion for, this game left a lasting impact on generations of Hall of Fame players and coaches. There are very few people that have been able to have the kind of generational impact that he did. Gil was as dedicated to growing this league and sport as anyone ever was, and we are all grateful and better for it.
Our hearts go out to Gil's wife, Sara, his son Hunter and all of Gil's family and friends."
