Ivory Sully

Ivory Sully (born 1957) is a retired American football player.

Sully grew up in Leonia, New Jersey, and played high school football there at Leonia High School. Undrafted as a running back from Division II Delaware, he was signed as a free agent by the Los Angeles Rams, who moved him to safety. There, he was a 1984 Pro Bowl alternate as a special teams player, although the presence of safeties Johnnie Johnson and Nolan Cromwell relegated him to backup status. With a pronounced resemblance to Omar Sharif, he played bit parts in several movies and television shows while playing in Los Angeles.
