🏈 “Duck Dynasty” star and former Louisiana Tech quarterback Phil Robertson passed away on Sunday. He was 79. Robertson was teammates with Terry Bradshaw at LA Tech.
Bradshaw once remarked about Robertson’s love of hunting, saying “… Phil Robertson, loved hunting more than he loved football. He’d come to practice directly from the woods, squirrel tails hanging out of his pockets, duck feathers on his clothes. Clearly he was a fine shot, so no one complained too much.”
