R.I.P. Deacon Jones - "Secretary of Defense"

[Canceled.2014.1]

One of the most feared pass rushers in the NFL. Back in the day he was a terror.

He was part of the Fearsome Foursome with the Rams. He, Rosey Grier, Lamar Lundy and Merlin Olsen made up a defensive line that, at times, could not be blocked.

Much sadder news than Lautenberg dying. Deacon Jones was a true NFL legend and one of the all time greats. A tell it like it is beast of an athlete. I think Rosey is the only one left.

This quote about why he went by Deacon and not David is awesome:

DJ: "Nobody gonna be afraid of no David! But, you tell that cat Deacon's coming…now he got a problem…"

Watching NFL classics of those guys was awesome. Almost made you feel bad for the offense. Almost.
