Remember Lee Roy? The baddest Creamsicle to ever play the game.
RIP

Leeee Rooooooy Jenkiiiiiinnnnnnnnsssssss.

This guy was a stud on a really bad team, and was one of the key components of their improvement in the late 70s.

That is really too bad....RIP.

I'm was not familiar with him but I wish his family the best through these tough times. RIP to the man.

Strange but true, I just bought my first and only Lee Roy Selmon Cards last week, including an autograph card for $24.

Apparently he's not dead, but according to his brother he is in the hospital recovering from a stroke.

That's good news. I don't know anything about him honestly, but 56 is still too young to go. Hope he is able to recover from this.

I remember watching an Oklahoma game as a kid and there was a huge banner that read "Thank you Mrs Selmon." 3 brothers played at Oklahoma but this guy was on a whole other level.

He played on the worst team in NFL history but they had a pretty good defense just because of him. One of the best defensive linemen in the history of the game.
