Deacon and the great head slap. That's when football players played with reckless abandonment! He was one of my football heroes for sure!

This is a guy who coined the term "sack" and intimidated Lyle Alzado.  He will be greatly missed.

While I refuse to give the guy props for the "head slap," he was pretty amazing even without it. He also had one of the coolest personalities the NFL has ever seen.

RIP, Deacon

Thankfully, he can live on in the NFL Films archive.  He's head slapping in the great beyond now.  RIP

I just found out he's from here in Eatonville (Orlando). All these years and I had no idea.

Go back and watch the movie Heaven Can Wait and watch him beat the shit out of the two man sled by himself.  Then factor in that he'd been retired about 5 years when they shot the movie..
