You probably know the name June Jones. If it’s because you’re a Falcons fan, you probably at least vaguely remember his tenure in Atlanta and his clashes with Jeff George. As just a football fan, you might know Jones as one of the chief proponents of the run n’ shoot offense in the NFL and in college.
Either way, you might not know that June Jones wasn’t just a Falcons head coach during one of the most pass-happy eras in team history, nor just the offensive coordinator for the hyper pass-happy Falcons from 1991-1993. He was also a Falcons quarterback, one who started five games over four seasons in Atlanta, making the team a prominent part of his history and Jones a prominent part of team’s history in turn.
