Roger LeClerc

Roger Alvin LeClerc (born October 1, 1936 - January 21, 2021) was a former American football player and coach. He played defensive tackle and placekicker professionally and coached at the college level for one season. LeClerc played eight seasons for the Chicago Bears in the National Football League (NFL). He was primarily the placekicker in an era when straight ahead kicking under 50 yards was the preferred style. During his playing career the soccer style kicking that is familiar today was already being used by teams. He was the second leading scorer in team history for years with 377 points, but with the modern game, he has slipped to 8th place. His best season was 1965.
