LeRoy Irvin, a standout cornerback and punt returner for the Los Angeles Rams, dies at age 68, multiple reports say. Irvin is remembered for his impact on both sides of the ball during the 1980s, when he became a regular presence in the Rams’ defensive backfield and a reliable option on special teams. Sources describe him as a first-team All-Pro and note that he earns multiple All-Pro honors, including recognition as an All-Pro at both cornerback and punt returner. His 1980s tenure with the Rams is cited as the period when he developed a reputation as a “staple” of the team’s defense. Details about the cause of death are not included in the provided reports. Irvin’s legacy is centered on his two-way contributions—covering receivers as a defensive back and returning punts—during a period when he was among the league’s most recognized players at his positions.
