Former Winnipeg Blue Bombers offensive lineman Bobby Thompson died Thursday of a heart attack at the age of 46.
Thompson played for the Bombers from 1979 to 1983. "It is with great sadness that we learned about the passing of our great friend and teammate, Big Cat," said Bombers president Lyle Bauer. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family."
Thompson played his college football for Kansas State. He lived in Winnipeg.
