Yeah Steven thanks for the reminder, Deacon Jones and Johnny U. :)In his four-year career as a Louisville Cardinal, Unitas completed 245 passes for 3139 yards and 27 touchdowns. It is recorded that the 6'1.Deacon Jones, who had had an obscure college career preceding his 14th-round selection by the Los Angeles Rams in the 1961 draft, quickly blossomed into a superb defensive end. Blessed with speed, agility, and quickness, the “Deacon” became one of the finest pass rushers in the business. Yet had it not been for the chance observation of two Rams scouts viewing films of an opponent, he might never have had a chance to play pro football. When the scouts noted that the 6-4, 272-pound tackle was outrunning the backs they were scouting, they recommended Jones as a sleeper pick. :)
