Frank Ryan, the quarterback who led the Cleveland Browns to their last NFL title in 1964, has died. He was 87. Ryan was a three-time Pro Bowler during seven seasons with the Browns. His family said he died while being cared for at a nursing home in Connecticut. He had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The family said chronic traumatic encephalopathy may have played a role in the progression of the disease. Ryan donated his brain to Boston University’s CTE Center for study. After his playing career, Ryan, who earned a doctorate degree in mathematics from Rice, worked for the U.S. House of Representatives and helped develop the body’s first electronic voting system.
