Jim Turner, a star kicker who made two Pro Bowls and helped the New York Jets win Super Bowl III in a historic upset over the Baltimore Colts, has died, the Denver Broncos announced Monday. Turner played for the Jets from 1964 to 1970 and then with the Broncos from 1971 to 1979. He retired as the NFL’s second-leading scorer and earned American Football League Player of the Year votes in 1969. “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Denver Broncos Ring of Fame kicker Jim Turner,” the Broncos said in a statement. “Retiring as the second-leading scorer in NFL history, Jim was instrumental in helping establish the Broncos’ winning tradition in the 1970s as a key member of our first Super Bowl team.
