In the world of football, Deacon is best known as the man who coined the term "sack," perfected the devastating "head slap," and was a member of the most dominant defensive line the league has ever seen---the "Fearsome Foursome." He was named the "Secretary of Defense" by Los Angeles fans, the "Most Valuable Ram of All Time," by the Los Angeles Times, the "Greatest Defensive End of Modem Football," by Coach George Allen, and has been recently named as "Defensive End of the Century" by Sports Illustrated.

He was unanimously voted to the NFL's 75 Year All Time Team and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, in 1980.

Deacon's media and broadcasting credentials are numerous and include a range of venues, from countless television appearances on shows like "Up Close", ''Hardcore Football", "Monday Night Live", and "Pro Magazine", to being a member of the Los Angeles Rams broadcast team as color analyst and analyst and personality on Fox Sports Network's "NFL This Morning."

Marketing, corporate imaging, and public relations have been Deacon's forte since he left the game. He has worked for companies as diverse as the Miller Brewing Company, Hagar Slacks, Pacific Coast Medical Enterprises and Epson America, and represented the NFL and Champion Products as spokesman for their Throwback campaigns.

He is in constant demand as a motivational speaker at corporate sales meetings and special events.
