Lionel Taylor, who had a record-setting playing career with the Denver Broncos and also became the first Black coordinator in NFL history, has died at age 89.

He was signed by the Broncos in 1960 and led the AFL in receiving in five of the league's first six seasons. His 100 receptions in 14 games in 1961 was the first such season in pro football history and was a team record that stood until Rod Smith and Ed McCaffrey each had at least 100 receptions in 2000.

Lionel Taylor, a four-time All-Pro and a trailblazer as an NFL assistant coach, died on Aug. 6 at the age of 89, the Broncos announced on Wednesday.
