Abner Haynes, a star player in the early days of the American Football League and still holds several records for the Kansas City Chiefs, died Thursday in Dallas at the age of 86. No cause was given.

Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt offered his condolences to the Haynes family, calling the star a "man of courage and leadership."

“My family and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Chiefs Hall of Famer Abner Haynes,” Hunt said. “Abner was one of the first great stars of the Dallas Texans and the American Football League.”
