ROTAN, Texas - Sammy Baugh, the NFL's original gunslinger, has been given a cowboy send-off.

The last surviving member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's inaugural class of 1963 was remembered by family and friends Monday, five days after he died at 94.

A saddle and chaps were draped over his coffin at the front of First Baptist Church in Rotan. Baugh was taken by hearse to a cemetery, and a horse-drawn wagon awaited for the procession to the grave site.

Starting in the 1930s, Baugh turned the sparingly used forward pass into a potent weapon for the Washington Redskins. The former TCU star was also a standout punter and defensive back.
