Renowned NFL journalist Chris Mortensen passes away at age 72
Longtime ESPN reporter Chris Mortensen has passed away at the age of 72. ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro praised Mortensen as an industry pioneer who covered the NFL with skill and passion for decades. Mortensen retired last year after covering his 33rd NFL Draft to focus on his health after being diagnosed with Stage IV throat cancer in 2016. He eventually announced that most of the cancer was gone after successful treatments. Mortensen’s colleague Adam Schefter paid tribute to him, highlighting Mortensen’s dedication and expertise as an NFL insider. Colleagues, fans, and loved ones mourn his passing and remember his contributions to sports journalism.
