Contrary to popular belief, the K-Gun that the Bills ran in the 90′s was named after Kent Hull, not Jim Kelly. Hull is hands down one of the best, most underrated centers to ever play.

RIP Kent.

Actually, the K-gun was named after Keith McKeller. Hull was an underrated Center though, you’ve got that right. I truly believe that the NFL needs to investigate why these players are dying so young.
Thanks for doing a great job Kent, although no SB rings, I doubt any other team will ever say they had 4 appearances in a row. Go Bills!!!!

Would have been nice if the headline read “Former Bills Pro Bowl Center Kent Hull dies at 50″ (not 51)

RIP Kent

so many of these guys dying so young…

This game causes way too many guys to die younger than they should.

And if they aren’t dead, they have lots of bad health issues.

That’s why a guy like Robert Smith is smarter than most.

He got out at age 28 so chances are decent that he will live a long time and will have less health troubles than most…

A class act on and off the field, a hell of a man – one who truly loved playing for the city of Buffalo and their fans ….. one who truly appreciated everything that he had and took nothing for granted….prayers and thoughts to his wife and children and to his former teammates and many friends around the country….he will truly be missed…..

From a Miami Dolphins fan to Buffalo Bills fans everywhere, my condolences go out to you. Kent Hall was an honorable rival for many years, I have nothing but respect for him and that offense he helped to anchor (even if it sent my Phins home a few times during the Marino era). Truly sorry to hear about this. God bless!

Terrible news. Heard this guy was as good off the field as he was on it. This guy was part of an impressive era of Bills football. Condolences to the family and Bills nation. God speed Kent.

God damn shame. Huge fan of the Bills growing up and this was one of my favorite players on their roster. You know you’re obsessed with a team when you’re memorizing offensive linemen and tight ends at 8-10 years old. Too young, way too damned young man.

Who is putting all the “thumbs down”? Do you think you’re funny? People are trying to send their condolences and you feel it’s necessary to disrespect a man’s legacy with this crap…get a life and show some respect.

Someone writes RIP and it gets 6 thumbs down? Who are these jerks and why aren’t they locked up?

This is just heartbreaking news. This guy was the finest center the bills ever had and from what the players say was a great guy. My heart goes out to the hull family.

Man, I am truly sorry to hear that Buffalo fans! As a Dolphin fan, I remember and respect the way Hull played the game! That rivalry was awesome back in the 90′s and Hull was one of the many studs Buffalo had on that team!!! RIP KENT!!!! You and the Bills were a class act! Unlike the ASSCLOWNS PATRIOTS!!!

unbelievable how there are any thumbs down on the post of a death…. what scumbags some people are… i dislike the raiders and would never have thought about that crap when davis dies….

Hull was another stud in a team full of them…a little bit of my youth is gone after hearing this…
Kent, i dont know what the NFL quantifies as a HOF offensive lineman, but u will always be one here in Buffalo

I’m 21, so Kent Hull was concluding his career around the time I started to care about Football but my heart goes out to him and his family. Being from Buffalo and beings a Bills fan I’ve long heard about his playing and the infamous QB sneak to beat Miami all those years ago. It’s sad to see him go. RIP.

Is it the pounding of the football life? Is it the fact that they’re huge guys too heavy with bad hearts? Why all the linemen die so young? Blows to the head every down, I think….a shame, in any event….

Thats a shame. Way too young

A lot of ex-NFLers dying at ages 50-55. It’s not a coincidence.

My thought as well, they are all late 40′s to mid 50′s what the he11 were they popping then, they must have been doped with poison!

how many of the bills players who played from 86-96 is dead? some journalist should look that up, or some lawyer from this site

anyway, my thought to his family!

My condolences to his and the Bills family.
He was a tough competitor and always played better vs my beloved Fins…

Thanks for the memories!

Contrary to popular believe gtorlone has no idea what he’s talking about. The k gun was named after tight end Keith mckeller. Next time use ‘the google’ before you post.
