May 22nd, 2010 | Published in Player Deaths
Stan Jones, Hall of Fame lineman for the Chicago Bears and Washington Redskins, passed away on May 21. According to his page on the Pro Football Hall of Fame web site, Jones played on the Bears’ offensive line for eight seasons, from 1954 to 1961, and he was selected for the Pro Bowl in seven of those seasons. In 1962, he played both guard and defensive tackle, and the following season he became a full-time defensive tackle. He played his last season, 1966, in Washington.
Though linemen in the 50s and 60s did not typically appear on many football cards, Jones appeared on at least eight. The card pictured here is his rookie card, a 1956 Topps. You can see all of Jones’s cards in the Vintage Football Card Gallery.
