He played for the Eagles and the Los Angeles Rams and was a two-time Pro Bowl selection before retiring from his playing career in 1969.

In 1971, Cross began working as a commentator and analyst for CBS Sports, becoming the first Black sportscaster working before a national audience.

When “The NFL Today” debuted in 1975, he became one of its co-hosts, remaining with the show until 1989 as the first Black person to co-anchor a major sports program.
