Deacon Jones

Football Hall of Famers

Growing up poor in the segregated South, Deacon Jones used football to escape small-town life and racism. This book tells the inspirational story of the great defensive end who spoke out against racial prejudice, worked his way onto the starting lineup of the L.A. Rams against all odds, and coined the now indispensable term "sack."
