Description

From a small rural town in Florida to the NFL Hall of Fame, this is the story of Deacon's rise to the top of the heap in the National Football League. "Headslap" refers to the lightning move popularised by Jones in the early days of the game, when a player could rattle the cage (or at least the helmet) of a blocker by belting him alongside the head. And Deacon did this better than anyone in the game. They weren't jabs; they were full left hooks and right crosses. So devastating was this move that the League outlawed it. "Headslap" has a deeper meaning as well: it's the jarring feeling you get when you realise that things aren't always what they might seem to be.

Author Biography:

John Klawitter is an Emmy Award-winning director and writer who has created successful films and videos for major agencies and for most of the Hollywood studios. In addition, he is the author of eight novels and six nonfiction books. Deacon Jones (1938 - 2013) played defensive end in the National Football League (NFL) for the Los Angeles Rams, San Diego Chargers, and the Washington Redskins. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980. Jones specialized in quarterback "sacks," a term which he coined. Nicknamed "the Secretary of Defense," Jones is considered one of the greatest defensive players ever. The Los Angeles Times called Jones "most valuable Ram of all time," and former Redskins head coach George Allen called him the "greatest defensive end of modern footbal."
