Little enters hospice care

Hall of Fame running back Floyd Little has entered hospice care, according to exSyracuse teammate Patrick Killorin. Killorin shared the update Saturday night on Facebook, where he’s provided periodic updates on Little’s health since May when Little’s bout with cancer became public. “Today we are going to talk about a new stage in Floyd’s journey. ... Hospice,” Killorin wrote. “Floyd’s courageous battle with a difficult disease (cancer) is now at a critical stage in his life. This is a time when a husband and wife must make important decisions regarding potential end of life decisions.” Killorin, who spearheaded a campaign that raised more than $134,000 for Floyd’s medical expenses, added, “Through your thoughts and contemplation, send your love and prayers for peace to Floyd, DeBorah and family.” Little, 78, was a three-time college All-American who went on to a Hall of Fame career with the Broncos from 1967-75. Little had his number 44 retired by both Syracuse and the Broncos.
