Descripción de contraportada

This is the story of Deacon Jones' rise to the top of the heap in the National Football League. "Headslap" refers to the lightning move popularized by Jones, when a player could rattle the helmet of a blocker by belting him along side the head. And Deacon - The "Secretary of Defense" - did this better than anyone. So devastating was his trademark move that the league eventually outlawed it. More than a simple sports story, Headslap brings to full view the NFL during the 1960s and 1970s - a time of incredible social upheaval and change in the United States. Deacon's story reveals the difficulties that all black players confronted trying to break into the NFL.

Acerca del autor

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."
