Sharpe’s wife, Tameka Williams-Sharpe, also posted about her husband’s passing on social media.

The 6-foot-5, 275-pound Sharpe played all 13 of his NFL seasons with the Cardinals, spanning from 1982 to 1994.

He made three straight Pro Bowls from 1987 to 1989 and was a second-team All-Pro selection in 1988 and 1990.

Born in Havana, Sharpe went on to play college football at UCLA. Throughout his NFL career, he started every one of the 189 games he played, establishing himself as one of the team’s key players during their 1988 relocation from St. Louis to Arizona.

“During his lengthy and noteworthy career with the Cardinals, Luis Sharpe displayed a unique kind of strength and resilience that contributed to his success on the field,” stated Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill. “We extend our heartfelt sympathies to everyone who cherished Luis, especially his family and former teammates.”
