Today we’re remembering Mr. Johnny ‘Lam’ Jones who passed away on this date in 2019. The speedster from Lampasas, Texas earned a Gold Medal at the 1976 Olympics, running the 2nd leg for the 4x100 relay team. After a solid college career catching passes for the Texas Longhorns, Johnny was selected 2nd overall in the 1980 Draft by the New York Jets.
Can anybody name the Hall of Fame Offensive Lineman that the Jets passed up on because of knee concerns?
