Bert Jones played college ball at LSU before being drafted by the Baltimore Colts.  The 1976 regular season was Jones’ finest as a professional. He threw for 3,104 yards and a career-high 24 touchdowns, compiling a passer rating of 102.5. He was one of only three quarterbacks to achieve a 100+ passer rating during the entire decade of the 1970s, joining Dallas’ Roger Staubach (1971) and Oakland’s Ken Stabler (1976).
