Dual All-Pro LeRoy Irvin Dead at 68
The Rams star who dominated at cornerback and punt returner has passed away at age 68.
LeRoy Irvin, the Los Angeles Rams cornerback and punt returner who achieved the rare feat of earning first-team All-Pro honors at two distinct positions, has died at age 68. Irvin stood as a cornerstone of the Rams' defensive unit throughout the 1980s, distinguished by a versatility that modern football rarely sees. His legacy is anchored by a record-setting performance in 1981 where he amassed 207 punt return yards in a single game, a benchmark that still stands in the NFL record books.
