Roger Alvin LeClerc is a former defensive tackle and placekicker who played eight seasons for the Chicago Bears in the National Football League. 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. He kicked the winning field goal in the 1963 NFL Championship Game against the New York Giants. His best season was 1965. After he retired, LeClerc was a math teacher for thirty years. He has a grandson who has played college quarterback.
