		Deacon Jones defined toughness and revolutionized the role of the pass rusher.
		An eight-time Pro Bowl selection, Jones revolutionized the role of the pass rusher and was named the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 1967 and 1968.
		Jones: One of them wouldn't do against me. You should be asking me who were the toughest "two" linemen or what was the toughest combination or the toughest team -- because you'd definitely have to bring more than one when you come at me. If you just bring one, I'm going to kill somebody.

		Jones started his NFL career as an obscure 14th-round draft pick of the 1961 Los Angeles Rams but he quickly grabbed the headlines with the kind of crowd-pleasing play previously displayed only by offensive ball-handlers.
		Sometimes tabbed as the "Secretary of Defense," Jones felt his most creative innovation was the head slap, since outlawed, where the pass rusher sharply slapped the blocker's helmet at the snap of the ball in an effort to get an extra step needed to break free.
		Jones and Olsen perfected the stunt, or loop, maneuver, which was designed to confuse the defenses that resorted to double-team, and even triple-team maneuvers to combat the Jones pass rush.

	Deacon Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1967, Jones unofficially amassed 26 sacks in 14 games (the term "sack" had not yet been coined at the time, and official sack statistics were not recorded by the NFL until 1982).
		Throughout his career, Deacon was considered—by himself and his opponents—to be one of the toughest players in the league.
		Jones currently serves as the president and CEO of the Deacon Jones Foundation, an organization he founded in 1997 "to assist young people and the communities in which they live with a comprehensive program that includes education, mentoring, corporate internship, and community service."

		Trying to ignore Deacon Jones was like trying to ignore a parade through your living room.
		It was Jones who coined the term sack, "You know, like you sack a city -- you devastate it." In an effort to control Jones, teams used double- and triple-teams, but that strategy simply freed Olsen, his partner in the best tackle/end combination in NFL history.
		Jones' greatest asset was the sprinter-like speed that allowed him to roam from sideline-to-sideline, delivering what he called "civilized violence." A departure from the stay-at-home defensive linemen of his era, Jones also popularized the head slap, a maneuver that later was outlawed by the NFL.
