Happy 75th birthday to Horace Jones<\/a>! Jones played defensive end for six seasons<\/a> in the NFL: from 1971 to 1975 for the Oakland Raiders, and in 1977 for the Seattle Seahawks. Unofficially, he had 37.5 career sacks. (Sacks were not officially counted until 1982.) Jones played college football for the University of Louisville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s card of the day is Jones’s rookie card, a 1973 Topps<\/a>. It is one of about 200 rookie cards in the set<\/a>. Jones also appeared on a 1974 Topps football card<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
