Mr. Two Bits for 10/31. Congrats Jack Youngblood

Hall of Fame inductee? College and professional.
 
All-Pro First Team selection? Five times in 14 seasons, all of which he spent with the Los Angeles Rams.
 

Jack Youngblood

Number retired? The Rams hung Youngblood’s No. 85 alongside the likes of Isaac Bruce, Eric Dickerson, Marshall Faulk, Deacon Jones, and Merlin Olsen. It was a no-brainer given the fact his unofficial sack count (1982 was the first year the NFL counted them) was 151.5, a number only eclipsed by Jones when Youngblood retired prior to the 1985 campaign.
 
Florida Football’s Ring of Honor? Youngblood and his No. 74 jersey — which fans can purchase a replica of — were enshrined with Emmitt Smith, Steve Spurrier, and Danny Wuerffel when the Gators unveiled it in 2006.
 
Undefeated against Florida State? You bet.
