Their are only three players that have warn this Jersey Number, BUT they're Big Ones!!!
Short story about our 1st Player; He came to the Rams after getting out of the Marine Corps in 1953 ( He'd been seen in a scrimmage of the Marine Corps Team against the San Diego Chargers) He's been called the " Fastest DT from sideline to sideline" of his Day! So At 6ft. 6 inch. I give you @ #85 - DT - Eugene ' Big Daddy' Lipscomb: ( He also wore #76)
I can't believe, being a two time All Pro, and Hall of Fame Finalist in 1970 and 1977 he's not in the H of F!!
( If anyone can find a picture of Big Daddy in a Ram Uni I'd Like to have it for my Collection!!)
Next Up, " Now we start REALLY COOKIN'". From the Fearsome Foursome I bring you DE - Lamar Lundy:
( Ok you notice Deacon's Grab 1st, but their's Larmar in the back ground!)
I just had to through this one in BECAUSE!
And Now the Man you've probably been waiting for me to get to THE GREATEST #85 - Jack Youngblood:
I'm sure that any Ref that Dared argue with Jack Got ' THE LOOK'
I don't know why only three players in Rams History ( Per Pro-Football-Reference) have warn #85, Maybe no one else dared to wear it, Maybe the number is Retired! If Not it should be in Honor of Jack!!!
As a side note, I once STUPIDLY said of Jack, when he first took over Deacon Jones' spot, " Who is this punk kid who thinks he can take Deacons place" I soon found out!
( you have to know,IF you don't already, Deacon was a personal friend of mine! So..)
Anyway, No doubt Deacon and Jack are the two BEST DE's the Rams Have ever had!
OK Folks, your turn, Lets see some of those photos, and gifs I know you have!!
