Joe Kapp, the only quarterback to lead teams to a Rose Bowl, Grey Cup and Super Bowl., died Monday at age 85.
J.J. Kapp confirmed his father's death to the San Francisco Chronicle, saying it came following a "15-year battle with dementia."
"Along with helping put the Lions on the map after some lean early years, Joe also served as a trailblazer for quarterbacks making a name for themselves on both sides of the border," the BC Lions said in a statement on Tuesday.
