Deacon Jones was known for saying utterly bombastic things in front of a camera. He's stated such things as, "I'd made up my mind that I wasn't taking any prisoners and the wounded would be shot," and the graphic "Sacking a quarterback is just like you devastate a city or you cream a multitude of people." Despite such bravado, Jones was known as a clean player. Aggressive, yes, but not one to administer a cheap shot. "I played against him a thousand times. Never once did he hit me below the knees. Never once did he try to clothesline me. Never once did he have a dirty play. He was a fair player and a great player," Minnesota Vikings Hall of Fame quarterback Fran Tarkenton told NFL Network.
