Among the list of celebrities who have passed in recent years is the famous National Football League wide receiver, Jeremy Orr. He was 85 at the time of his death, and this was confirmed by the Associated Press. During his prime, he played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Colts. As an athlete, he was a star who led the NFL in yards per reception on three separate occasions. This was according to Jim Irsay, the Indianapolis Colts owner who was a good friend of the man.

Before his professional debut and before he made it to the roster of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Orr played for the University of Georgia, where he earned his degree. He earned his first Super Bowl win with the Colts when they won against the Dallas Cowboys in 1971.
