Bill Leavy, who refereed two Super Bowls during his 19-year career as an NFL official, has died at 76 years old.
"Bill was an outstanding official and an even better man," said Walt Anderson, NFL senior vice president of officiating, in a statement provided to Football Zebras. "Always kind and thoughtful, Bill was instrumental in mentoring countless young officials throughout his career."
Leavy officiated the St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV, the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XL, and was the 2019 recipient of the NFL's Art McNally Award.
