Stacy Robinson, a wide receiver who won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants before working with the players' union, has died after a battle with cancer. He was 50.
"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Stacy Robinson," Giants co-owner John Mara said in announcing the death late Tuesday. "He was a good man who was loved and respected by his teammates and everyone in this organization. His work on behalf of the players association was of great benefit to many players. He will be missed. His family is in our thoughts and prayers."
The Giants did not release a cause or place of death. Robinson, who was born in St. Paul, Minn., was diagnosed with cancer in 2009, according to a family statement posted on the caringbridge.org hospice site. He underwent chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant and a bone marrow transplant provided by his son, Stacy, but entered hospice care on May 3.
