New Deacon Jones Award

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Deacon Jones, the Hall of Fame defensive end who’s credited with coining the term “sack” to mean tackling a passer behind the line of scrimmage, will be honored by the league by the creation of the Deacon Jones Award, which will go to the player who leads the league in sacks each year.

I think it's a pretty cool addition to the league awards. Thoughts?

*Can a mod delete the "t" at the end of the thread? Thanks

It's well deserved on his behalf

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

sizzle to be first awarded

That's pretty cool.

 

Is this going to be a trend? Will there be a Dan Marino award for most passing yards? Or Barry Sanders Offensive Player of the Year award? Perfect time to name Ray Lewis or Deion Sanders DPOY

I see the NFL listened to my suggestions lol

Only makes sense to have the man that coined the term "Sack" have the award for leading sack artist be named after him.
