Lawrence McCutcheon, 5-Time Pro Bowl Running Back for Los Angeles Rams, Dies at 76
The five-time Pro Bowler later spent 32 years in the Rams front office and the family asked for donations to Parkinson’s research.
Former Los Angeles Rams running back Lawrence McCutcheon died Friday at 76 following a lengthy battle with Parkinson, the team announced. He passed away with family at his bedside.
Nicknamed 'Clutch,' McCutcheon earned five Pro Bowl selections and a second-team All-Pro honor during his eight-season Rams tenure, accumulating 6,578 rushing yards and four 1,000-yard seasons.
After playing for Denver, Seattle, and Buffalo, McCutcheon joined the Rams front office, serving 32 years there including as director of player personnel until his 2016 retirement.
His football legacy extends through family; son Daylon played cornerback for the Cleveland Browns from 1999 to 2006, while grandson Dyson is a defensive back at Middle Tennessee.
In lieu of flowers, the family requested donations to the Fox Foundation for Parkinson research. The Rams stated his legacy remains woven into the organization's fabric.
