Back in the day when NFL players prowled the gridiron with nicknames like Dick “Night Train” Lane, “Concrete Charlie” Bedarnik, or even “Fatso” Artie Donovan”, the LA Rams had a special player of their own with the moniker “Jaguar ” Jon Arnett. He passed away on Saturday, January 16, 2021, at the age of 85.
In 1957, the Rams plucked Arnett right out of their own backyard from the University of Southern California (where he was an All-American) as the second overall pick that year, and his impact on the league was immediate.
