Deacon Jones, Merlin Olsen named to NFL100 All-Time Team

Two more Rams were added to the NFL100 All-Time Team.

Some of the best players in NFL history have worn the horns and played for the Rams, and that’s becoming evident with the league celebrating its 100th season. To commemorate 100 years of football, the NFL is creating an All-Time Team for 2019.

Eric Dickerson made the team at running back, this week, two other Rams were added to the list. Merlin Olsen and Deacon Jones were both named to the NFL100 All-Time Team as two of the best defensive tackles in league history.

Olsen and Jones both played before sacks were an official stat, but they were each incredibly disruptive during their playing days. Jones only missed three games in his career with the Rams, while Olsen started all 208 games he played.

Olsen was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1982, while Jones made it two years prior in 1980.
