QUESTION 55-Who, as pictured, is a dominant Hall of Fame defensive end who entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame two years before sacks became an official NFL statistic?

Correct Incorrect Deacon Jones: Deacon Jones, widely recognized as a dominant defensive end, received the prestigious honor of being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980. Interestingly, his induction predates the official recognition of sacks as an NFL statistic by two years. Jones, known as the "Secretary of Defense," even coined the term "sack" to describe tackling the quarterback behind the line of scrimmage.
