The Notre Dame Heisman Trophy winner and Green Bay Packer was 84 years-old. The Louisville Sports Commission announced Paul's death due to dementia.
Hornung is one of seven football players in history to be awarded the Heisman Trophy and the NFL MVP award.

Hornung is the only player in NFL history with 50 rushing TD's and 50 field goals!
