NFL Athlete Number 85 - Jack Youngblood


Great name, great football player. Greatest NFL athlete to ever wear the jersey number 85 is Jack Youngblood of Los Angeles Rams fame. (Remember when L.A. had a football team or two?!)

Youngblood is a 2001 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, who played his entire pro football career, spanning the years 1971 to 1984, with the Rams. Extremely durable, Youngblood played in an outstanding 201 consecutive pro football games for the Rams.

Youngblood was named the Rams MVP in 1975, 1976 and 1979, and was a seven time Pro Bowl selection.

Did you know......Youngblood's jersey number 85 has been retired by the Rams?

Was Antonio Gates considered? He has modernized the position of TE and look at his stats and what he means to the San Diego community.
