with apologies to Reggie White and Bruce Smith, Deacon Jones was maybe the best pass rusher ever! Pretty sure he was the guy that perfected the "head slap" before that was outlawed by the league.

Equal opportunity head slapper. RIP, Mr Jones!

Not to subvert the theme & reverence of the thread but, did Deacon Jones coin the term "sack"?

I read a bio on him and he is given credit for the term.
