From Wikipedia:David D. "Deacon" Jones (December 9, 1938 – June 3, 2013) was an American football defensive end in the National Football League for the Los Angeles Rams, San Diego Chargers, and the Washington Redskins. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980.

Jones specialized in quarterback "sacks", a term which he coined. Nicknamed the "The Secretary of Defense", Jones is considered one of the greatest defensive players ever. Without Jones, defense as we know it would be different. The Los Angeles Times called Jones "Most Valuable Ram of All Time," and former Redskins head coach George Allen called him the "Greatest Defensive End of Modern Football".

Jones also appeared as himself in episodes of 'Wonder Woman' and 'The Brady Bunch'.  As such, he will be inducted into the TV Crossover Hall of Fame in February of 2014.

Good night and may God bless.....
