Deacon said he was the one that killed Monday whipped Tuesday and put Wednesday in the hospital, called up Thursday to tell Friday don't bury Saturday on Sunday. Stuck his fingers in the ground and turn whole world around. He reminds me of Dolemite with his strong personality.

Deacon Jones was a class act . 👍👍🇺🇸 What he said about Dick Butkus, roses are red and violets are blue if you have any sense at all you’ll keep Butkus away from you. RIP Deacon Jones
They don't make football players like that anymore. The most feared and intimidating defensive end in any era. Deacon Jones was football personified 🔥🔥🏈
I had the honor of watching Deacon play his last home regular season game in DC in 1974. He totally schooled the opposition across from him. He kicked an extra point in the game and got a standing ovation.
Got to admire Deacon's swagger. All earned; no hype. Ram's fearsome four-some the best ever even almost five decades since they played all together. The Rams have come back to L.A.! Where you been?
Being a Bears fan I do respect this Legend! Not much pay back in those days but he played with passion and heart!! R.I.P. Deacon...You will always be Glorified in Canton!!
I'm a Huge Bear Fan. Since Butkus and Sayers, the Greatest MLB and RB in NFL History, IMO. If I'm starting a Football Team, I'm taking those two Bears and David Deacon Jones is My Starting Left DE. This Dude could've played in Any Era. Paul Warfield, another Old School Player, would start at WR. And, of course, Johnny Unitas at QB. If Johnny U played today, He'd OWN the Record Book.
A very little known fact: Deacon would pick up lunch money by betting running backs drafted by the Rams on who was fastest in a sprint. At 6'-5" and 270lbs., he didn't seem like much of a threat to win. He never lost until the Rams drafted Willie Ellison who had been a track star in college.
@@theprofessor8589 Deacon and my "little professor" both have something in common. Deacon loved sacks, while my "little professor" just loves SACK. MY BALLSACK!! Keep those fingers working sweetie!! LOVE YOU!!
I read a story once, long ago, that every year at training camp Deacon would win bets racing the current crop of running backs drafted by the Rams. He never lost until Willie Ellison was drafted, who was also a track star as well as a football player.
"C'mon Big D! C'mon make 'em bleed through the ears!" LOL. They would have banned Deacon in this sissy league now. Deacon was a real fuckin' man. Respect.
Always loved Deacon Jones guest role on the old "Odd Couple" where Felix (Tony Randall) got Oscar Madison (Jack Klugman) to recruit him to do a commercial-he never said anything until the end of the episode when he bailed Oscar out of the commercial when he "froze" on camera LOL
At 1:52 you see the definition of relentless. Deacon missed the QB, fell, got up and chased down and sacked him. The most amazing defensive play I have ever seen, despite my 13 seasons of watching LT reek havoc.
"Sacking the quarterback is just like you devastate a city or you CREAM a multitude of people." Enough said. He's got it down to a science. Nobody🖕🏾with my granddaddy favorite Player EVER .. Deacon
+Alfredo Taylor I'm surprised the NFL doesn't have all of the games someplace so they could get an accurate count. You'd think some teams would still have some film
From Wikipedia In 1967, Jones had 21½ sacks in only 14 games, which (if official) would stand as the single-season record. (The term "sack" had not yet been coined at the time, and official sack statistics were not recorded by the NFL until 1982.) Then in 1968, Jones tallied 22 sacks in 14 games, also more than the current NFL record. Unofficial annual sack totals Year Sacks Team 1961 8 Los Angeles Rams 1962 12 Los Angeles Rams 1963 5½ Los Angeles Rams 1964 22 Los Angeles Rams 1965 19 Los Angeles Rams 1966 18 Los Angeles Rams 1967 21½ Los Angeles Rams 1968 22 Los Angeles Rams 1969 15 Los Angeles Rams 1970 12 Los Angeles Rams 1971 4½ Los Angeles Rams 1972 6 San Diego Chargers 1973 5 San Diego Chargers 1974 3 Washington Redskins
Imagine if in an all-time defense, you had Deacon Jones and Reggie White at defensive ends and Bob Lilly and Merlin Olsen at defensive tackles with Lawrence Taylor, Mike Singletary, and Jack Ham at LBs with Deion Sanders and Mel Blount at CB and Ronnie Lott and Rodney Harrison at Safetys…that would be ILLEGAL!
Didnt get drafted til 14 round...wow!!..he was from the same town my father was from Eatonville Fla...i met his mom when i vistited there as a very young boy
Deacon Jones learned that at SC State...along with Donnie Shell and Harry Carson...we also have learned it down to now...with Darius Leonard and Javon Hargrave...all SCSU Bulldogs the best HBCU football program in the Nation
You also gotta throw those clotheslines that Dick “Night Train” Lane threw back in the 1950’s! The NFL rightly banned that move shortly after Lane’s retirement, lol
@@4orrcountry Deacon Jones made an appearance on an episode of The Brady Bunch. Made frequent appearances at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco. In 1980, entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. A member of the Rams Wall of Honor, and his number 75 was retired by the Rams.
Lawrence Taylor is Always being compared to Dick Butkus. Why, I do not know. Taylor played OLB, or Edge Rusher, in a 3/4 Defense. His main job was to Rush the QB. Butkus was a MLB in a Traditional 4/3 Defense, with way more responsibilities than an Edge Rusher. A better comparison to Lawrence Taylor would be Deacon Jones, IMO.

What he said about Dick Butkus, roses are red and violets are blue if you have any sense at all you’ll keep Butkus away from you.
RIP Deacon Jones
175 sacks & they only played a 14 game season & they didn't even pass much.15-20 passes was the norm back then.This is what's amazing!
They don't make football players like that anymore. The most feared and intimidating defensive end in any era. Deacon Jones was football personified 🔥🔥🏈
They don't allow playing like that anymore. Football has become harder and harder to watch.
Him and reggie white are on my team first two picks
They cut out the part where he said “or a woman”😭😭😭😭😭😭

I loved him so much. He and the rest of the Fearsome Foursome made me a Rams fan in 1967
He & Ali were my first athletes I looked up to.
Deacon said he didn't invent the head slap he said he perfected it.
No, this Guy is a certified legend of the game, he perfected his craft.
Best defensive lineman in NFL history.
Reggie White.

In another clip, Jones said he kept notes on his sack total. He had 50 in two seasons (26 in 1967; 24 in 1968).
Deacon was born to rush Quarterbacks enough said the man was ruthless and the NFL seemed like a scary place to be in back then so many savages 😂😂
Only missed 5 games in 14 years? Wow!!!

such bullshit. i brought someone here to watch this. cancelculture
"I could outrun daylight!"
Never knew he was a 14th round pick. That's almost like a Tom Brady magnitude steal. The league really overlooked black southern colleges back then
DEACON = GOAT
One of the best ever to play the game. A great all time Ram
👍🏈🏈🏈
Alan Page, Johnny Musso and Deacon Jones were my sports heros as a kid
I loved those days. Those were the days.
When real men played and ran the league. Before Goodell came and sissified it.

Very impressive, as was Deacon
Love listening to this guy
Just watching Deacon Jones can give you CTE!
God Bless him !!! One of the Greatest of all time !!!!!!!!!🙏👍👍👍👍❤
THE Greatest defensive end of all time.
"C'mon Big D! C'mon make 'em bleed through the ears!"
LOL. They would have banned Deacon in this sissy league now. Deacon was a real fuckin' man. Respect.
yea
+Flavor Bud Living stop playing
One of the greatest DE s that ever played!
No, no...THE Greatest.
They took out the part of him going upside a woman's head with da headslap🙋👋#metoo
@Levi Ackerman
🧠🤷🏾♀️👋🏿. 🤣
Deacon was my father in law’s best friend. He said to me “now you take good care of little Connie “. I said “ yes sir Mr. Jones.
Can I get this NFL back? Damn
beautiful poetry in motion

The physicality, size, and speed in that clip - he's literally running at the camera at the end - literally induces fear.
And that was saying something, considering that the QB was Fran Tarkenton. . .
"Sacking the quarterback is just like you devastate a city or you CREAM a multitude of people."
Enough said. He's got it down to a science.
Nobody🖕🏾with my granddaddy favorite Player EVER .. Deacon
I wish they would as least found out how many sacks he had .
+Alfredo Taylor I'm surprised the NFL doesn't have all of the games someplace so they could get an accurate count. You'd think some teams would still have some film
He had 173 and a half sacks for his career, which would've been 3rd all time and #1 when he retired.

+eazyduzit5150 thanks very much
+Alfredo Taylor By Deacon's own count, he had 26 in 14 games, during the 1967 season.
he made that whole offense feel like a Pinata.
Deacon Jones is like Larry Allen, they’re just different
Bill Simmons brought me here
Merlin had a soft name and voice and sold flowers. I'd never mess with him, though.
When I first heard Deacon Jones, describing the head slap he said
it's like going up side a Woman's or a Man's head they edits Women now!!!
what an awesome football player
Deacon Jones was a madman, and I mean that in a good way. Opponents feared him for good reason. He's definitely the GOAT.
Chuck Norris is the Deacon Jones of martial arts. I said what I said. No one tops the deacon. That was the baddest man on the planet in his day.
Such a great player and personality. He had a great voice and a certain way of articulating his approach to the game of football.
Imagine if in an all-time defense, you had Deacon Jones and Reggie White at defensive ends and Bob Lilly and Merlin Olsen at defensive tackles with Lawrence Taylor, Mike Singletary, and Jack Ham at LBs with Deion Sanders and Mel Blount at CB and Ronnie Lott and Rodney Harrison at Safetys…that would be ILLEGAL!
Deacon Jones, The true innovator of the Quarterback sack.
Deacon jones and johnny unitas in san diego chargers uniforms late in their careers was just odd..
He talked about Butkus being a well conditioned animal . De on Jones was a well conditioned animal himself.
He was a Baaaaaaaaad man! Oh yes he was...
A proper Bob brown type,legend
Favorite story: Olsen said Deacon challenged anyone to a 50-yard dash... You name the amount...Deacon never lost
the best ever!
Mississippi Valley had 2 of the best all time Deacon Jones & Jerry Rice
What an awesome game it use to be
Rip to the deacon- one bad mo-fo
Good ole' DEAK!!! Hot dang. Reminds me of Calvin Mullins from Clintwood, VA High School. Not NUTHIN goin' stop ole Deak, ner ole Calvin!
Great man
Rams all time Defensive could not be matched by any team elsewhere. Bookends Jones and Youngblood, with Aaron Donald and Merlin Olsen in the middle
2:02 the look of a beaten and depleted qb
Didnt get drafted til 14 round...wow!!..he was from the same town my father was from Eatonville Fla...i met his mom when i vistited there as a very young boy
Bad Ass... claimed he was the best from every aspect and believed it
...and most importantly, PROVED IT!
14th round. That means talent like him can get missed in today's draft of 7 rounds.
Better scouting these days. No way a guy like this would go past 7 rounds in current times
He absolutely hated chasing Tarkenton around all day ...lol
About Dick Butkus Deacon used to say that if you had the ball Butkus wanted to put you in the cemetery not the hospital
One BAD DEACON JONES RIP
Dig the way NFL Films edit out the "woman" when he talks about the headslap😂😂😂
Deacon Jones learned that at SC State...along with Donnie Shell and Harry Carson...we also have learned it down to now...with Darius Leonard and Javon Hargrave...all SCSU Bulldogs the best HBCU football program in the Nation
4:17 best quote ever
Was this recorded on a potato?
This is the goat dlineman IMO
GREAT
The Deacon didn't invent the head-slap, Big Daddy Lipscomb did that.
True indeed but Deacon perfected it.
You also gotta throw those clotheslines that Dick “Night Train” Lane threw back in the 1950’s! The NFL rightly banned that move shortly after Lane’s retirement, lol
Someone EDITED part of Deacon Jones statement about the head slap, WHY? Let everyone hear everything he said stop censoring things
“Cream a multitude of people “ lol
Remember an interview where he said he "didn't even like his teams QB".
Have they still not gone back and counted Deacons sacks??
His definition of sacking the quarterback was wild af 😅
Life is great, Football is better.
He was a bad man
Poor Deacon if only he had even a pinch of self confidence.
Brady Bunch is where I heard of him. Man what an NFL pro. So deserving of his hall of fame induction. R.I.P.
Rex Sexson
I agree. He definitely deserves to be in a Hall of Fame.
Interviewed players: Sam Huff, Paul Hourning, Merlin Olson, and Rosey Greer.
That's Grier. And don't you forget it. He's still alive.

Strahans record sack was a GIMME putt huh Brett
D. Jones was not the father of head slap that’s goes to Denver tombstone Jackson ,I don’t know why Jones would claim it ,it was tombstone jackson
No way they would allow him to play in today's league!
They wouldn't even let that Man stand on the Sidelines today...💪
I forgot an important detail. deacon was my wife’s godfather.
Hes #2 on the ultimate ram fan jersey list. Anyone wanna guess who number one is ?

Cooper Cupp
Aaron Donald
Matt Stafford
Eric Dickerson
Kurt Warner
Marshall Faulk
Issac Bruce
@@mjwatts1983 All good guesses but the answer is Jack Youngblood
1:49 Chasing down Fran Tarkinton. Not easy
