Football great Decon Jones has passed away @ the age of 75 (& he sported jersey #75).

He played for the LA Rams, San Diego Chargers & Washington Redskins.

He even did some acting in movies & tv. Most notably, on The Brady Bunch when he visited Peter's football team. All of Peter's teammates called him a sissy canary for playing football & singing in the glee club.

Did it say what he passed from?

Yeah,I first learned of Deacon from watcing The Brady Bunch in the late 90s'. An accomplished HoF career. A shame he is gone.

Its like that famous death in threes bit with Jean Stapleton,the NJ Senator,and now Deacon Jones.

I don't think I remember this guy, but then again, I don't really follow football that much and didn't back then either. Still, he'll be missed for those who were fans of him.
