Aaron Thomas, one of the most prolific receiving tight ends in the history of the New York Giants, died last week at the age of 86 following a lengthy illness.

The Giants announced Thomas’ death Friday, saying he died on April 26 at his home in Corvallis, Oregon.

Thomas played 116 regular-season games for the Giants between 1962 and 1970, missing only seven games in his career because of injury.

He ranks 17th in franchise history with 254 receptions, 14th with 4,253 yards and is tied for sixth with 35 touchdown catches.

‘He’s almost like the early version of (Kansas City Chiefs tight end) Travis Kelce,’ his son, Robb Thomas, who played a decade in the league, told the team’s website.

Aaron Thomas, one of the most prolific receiving tight ends in Giants history, died last week.
