Tom Dempsey - Biography
Thomas John Dempsey (born January 12, 1947) is a former American football placekicker in the National Football League for the New Orleans Saints (1969–1970), Philadelphia Eagles (1971–1974), Los Angeles Rams (1975–1976), Houston Oilers (1977) and Buffalo Bills (1978–1979).
He attended high school at San Dieguito High School and played college football at Palomar College. Unlike the "soccer style" approach which was becoming more and more widely used during his career, Dempsey's kicking style was the standard (of the day) straight-toe style.
Dempsey married Carlene and had three children with one named Ashley. In January 2013, Dempsey revealed he was suffering from dementia. Psychiatrist Daniel Amen made the initial diagnosis of damage to Dempsey's brain. During medical examinations and scans, Amen found three holes in the brain, along with other damage.
On March 30, 2020, Dempsey tested positive for COVID-19 during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. He was one of 15 residents at a New Orleans senior residence to test positive for the virus. Dempsey died on April 4 of complications of COVID-19.
