Dick Haley, a Pitt graduate who helped assemble the Pittsburgh Steelers’ dynasty of the 1970s, died after a long fight against dementia and Parkinson's.
A running back at Pitt from 1956-58, Haley led the Panthers in rushing as a senior and was part of Pitt's Gator Bowl team in 1956. He went on to play six seasons in the NFL for the Washington Redskins, Minnesota Vikings and Steelers before going into player personnel and development.
