Obituary
DETROIT (AP) — Mel Farr, the Detroit Lions’ running back who rushed for over 3,000 yards in seven NFL seasons, has died. He was 70.
A Lions spokesman said Farr’s son confirmed his father died on Monday.
Farr spent his entire NFL career with Detroit, from 1967-73. He was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 1967, when he ran for 860 yards in 13 games.
He ran for 717 yards in 1970, helping the Lions go 10-4 in the regular season. They reached the playoffs that season for the first time since 1957.
Farr finished his pro career with 3,072 yards on 739 carries.
He then went on to build an auto dealership business, appearing on TV in local commercials as the caped Mel Farr Superstar.

OMG I remembered buying my 1st car from Mel Farr Ford in 1982 when I graduated high school it was a 1982 white Ford Mustang. So sorry to hear this such devastating news, he was a kind man with a pleasant smile and welcoming heart. I pray that his family makes it through this difficult time. May GOD bless you all .
