Jones, Deacon

 orig. David Jones

(born Dec. 9, 1939, Eatonville, Fla., U.S.) U.S. football player. He stood 6 ft 5 in. (1.96 m) tall and weighed 250 lbs (113 kg) and could run the 100-yard dash in 9.7 seconds. He excelled at tackling the quarterback behind the line of scrimmage (for which he coined the term sack). As a defensive end for the Los Angeles Rams (1961–71), he was regarded as one of the sport's premier defensemen and was named All-NFL six consecutive times (1965–70). He later played for the San Diego Chargers (1972–73) and Washington Redskins (1974).
