Former NFL official Bill Leavy, who spent 20 years in the league as a back judge and referee, died on Tuesday, according to Football Zebras. He was 76.
Leavy retired following the 2014 season, taking a supervisory position with the NFL’s officiating department. He remained in that role until his death.
“Bill was one of the great men in our profession and was liked by everyone and respected by every coach,” former NFL umpire Bill Wilson told Football Zebras. “He will be sorely missed.”
