Chris Gedney, the Central New York native who went on to set school records at his hometown Syracuse University as an All-American tight end, died Friday, the university announced.
The cause of Gedney's death was not released.
Gedney played in the National Football League with the Chicago Bears and Arizona Cardinals following a stellar career at Syracuse, where he helped the Orange win four straight bowl games. He became a pregame and postgame host for broadcasts of Arizona home games before moving back to NY and becoming a color analyst for Syracuse football.
Gedney was selected by the Bears in the third round of the 1993 draft out of Syracuse.
"Chris was a wonderful co-worker, a friend to all and deeply loyal to Syracuse University and our community", said SU athletic director John Wildhack in a statement.
