Lawrence McCutcheon, a five-time Pro Bowl running back for the Rams who went on to have a long career in the team's front office, died Friday. He was 76.
Former Rams running back and longtime front-office executive Lawrence McCutcheon died on Friday at age 76 following a battle with Parkinson's disease. His family announced his death through the Rams organization. McCutcheon was drafted by the franchise in 1972 out of Colorado State and became a five-time Pro Bowler during his eight seasons playing for the team.
Nicknamed "Clutch," McCutcheon departed the Rams in 1980 as their career rushing leader before finishing his playing career with Denver, Seattle, and Buffalo. He subsequently joined the Rams front office, serving over three decades as an executive, including as director of player personnel from 2003 until his retirement in 2016.
