dude was a beast. and had more sacks in a season than most did in a year... too bad they didn't keep the stat of QB sacks until near the end of his career because he was the one who made it need to become a state

I was just old enough to understand football and become a fan in the mid-late 60s. Deacon Jones was amazing. He did things that no one had done before. Like moving an offensive lineman out of the way by just a slap to the side of the helmet. He was at the time, and probably would be now, one of the best defensive players ever.

Since this is an obit thread, we can at least get the guy's name right. Can a mod maybe spell it right in the subject line? It's DEACON.
