Jimmy Orr

James Edward Orr Jr. (October 4, 1935 – October 27, 2020) was an American professional football player who played wide receiver in the National Football League for 13 seasons, from 1958 to 1970. An unrecruited walk-on at the University of Georgia in 1955, Orr was touted along with a fellow sophomore halfback as the "Zip Kids." It soon became clear that his strength was as a pass receiver rather than a runner, and he was cast as a flanker in the offense.

Drafted in the late rounds by the Los Angeles Rams in the 1957 NFL draft, Orr was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of his debut 1958 season. Playing split end there, he set team records and was named the 1958 NFL Rookie of the Year in both the Associated Press and United Press International polls. He was traded to the Baltimore Colts ahead of the 1961 season.

Orr played ten years in Baltimore and became a fan favorite, with the corner of the Memorial Stadium end zone where he caught many of his passes nicknamed "Orrsville." He retired a Super Bowl champion after the 1970 season. Born October 4, 1935, in Seneca, South Carolina, Orr was known for his speed throughout his career.
