From Tennessee State to Dallas Cowboys Icon: The Story of Ed "Too Tall" Jones

Before he was a Super Bowl champion and a 3-time All-Pro for the Dallas Cowboys, Ed "Too Tall" Jones was a dominant force at Tennessee State University. This Black History Month, we’re spotlighting one of the most physically imposing and influential players in football history. At 6'9", Jones was a pioneer for tall, athletic defensive ends. In this feature, we look at his journey from an HBCU standout to becoming the #1 overall pick in the 1974 NFL Draft—a historic moment for Black colleges and universities. We also dive into his legendary "Doomsday Defense" era and his brief, undefeated stint in professional boxing.
