The Detroit Free Press<\/a> is reporting today that Alex Karras<\/a> died today in Los Angeles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article describes Alex Karras in the weight room<\/a> :<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was 6-2, 260, and in the weight room, he never lifted weights,\u201d Walker (longtime linebacker Wayne Walker<\/a>) said. \u201cOnce a year, he\u2019d come in, smoke a cigar, trim down to his shorts, get under the barbell and bench-press<\/a> 300 pounds twice. He\u2019d dress, and you\u2019d never see him in the weight room again.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

“He was a giant of a man with a big heart, a great sense of humor<\/a>, and very grounded outlook on life,” actor Emmanuel Lewis<\/a>, who played Karras’ adoptive son, Webster<\/a>, told si.com<\/a>. “He might have towered over you . . . but he had a knack of being able get down to your level without being small about it.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alex Karras will be missed. He was one of the true gentlemen in the game of football.<\/p>\n
