Curley Johnson, who punted for the Jets in their Super Bowl victory over the heavily favored Baltimore Colts in 1969, died on Sunday at his home in Granbury, Tex. He was 80.

The Jets announced his death but did not specify the cause.

Johnson, who during his career also played running back and tight end and returned kickoffs, signed with the Jets, then known as the New York Titans, as a free agent in 1961 and played for the franchise through the 1968 season.

He set a franchise season record with a gross punting average of 45.3 yards in 1965, which lasted until Robert Malone broke it in 2012 with 45.8. Ryan Quigley topped Malone’s mark two years later with a 45.9 average
