He was the son of the founder of the company, which revolutionized the way fans watch the game.
Steve Sabol, the president of NFL Films and the son of its founder, died Tuesday of brain cancer, the league announced today. He was a few weeks shy of his 70th birthday.
Sabol took over the mantle of NFL Films from his father Ed Sabol, who founded the company. Steve learned in March 2011 that he had a brain tumor that couldn’t be removed.
Generations of NFL fans learned to love the game of football through the lens of the Sabols. Steve started out as a cameraman before eventually running the company, and in August 2011 he introduced his father during Ed’s enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
