Tittle as Pittsburgh Steelers' Brady Keys (26) defends during an NFL football game in New York. Shofner, the wide receiver who combined with Hall of Fame quarterback Tittle to give the Giants one of the NFL's most prolific passing threats in the early 1960s, has died. He was 85. Shofner's daughter, Laurie Shofner Corwin, confirmed the death Thursday, March 12, 2020, in a telephone call to The Associated Press. A family statement said the five-time Pro Bowl receiver died in Los Angeles on Wednesday of natural causes with his family by his side. (AP Photo, File)
