With his penchant for poetry, Todd Christensen never fit the Raiders's renegade mold. But that didn't keep him from becoming one of the team's best all-time tight ends. A five-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time Super Bowl winner, Christensen died from complications during liver transplant surgery Wednesday. He was 57. Christensen's son, Toby Christensen, said his father died at Intermountain Medical Center near his home in Alpine, Utah. He had been waiting for 10 months for a donor liver. After a stellar career at running back for Byu from 1974-77, Christensen was a second-round pick for the Dallas Cowboys in the 1978 NFL draft.
