The Story on how David "Deacon" Jones ended college career at Mississippi Valley State
But Jones had a drive to succeed.
— Rep. Val Demings (@RepValDemings) February 19, 2020
He remembered his childhood, when white teenagers had killed an elderly woman from his church. There was no investigation.
He later said, "I was determined not to be what society said I was."
He found a place at Mississippi Vocational College (an #HBCU), sleeping in cots in the other teams' gyms on away games because hotels wouldn't take him or the other Black students.
— Rep. Val Demings (@RepValDemings) February 19, 2020
In 1961, he was drafted by the @Rams.
Over the next decade, the "Secretary of Defense" established himself as one of the best players of all time—playing in eight Pro Bowls, named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980, and even inventing the phrase "sacking the quarterback."
— Rep. Val Demings (@RepValDemings) February 19, 2020
He believed that he could rise above.
He went on to roles in film and television, radio, business, music and philanthropy, helping other young people to rise above what other people told them they should be.
— Rep. Val Demings (@RepValDemings) February 19, 2020
He died in 2013, the "greatest defensive end of modern football."

Why do some NFL teams never hire people of color as GMs and coaches and others do? | Nancy Armour
Bad as the NFL is on people of color as head coaches and GMs, it’s actually worse. An analysis of hiring since 1990 by @mikefreemanNFL @Tom_Schad and me found 10 teams - less than third of league - responsible for 62 percent of minority hires https://t.co/k1yfdBt4g8
