Book Ed Too Tall Jones Appearances & Speaking Engagements

Ed Jones, affectionately nicknamed “Too Tall” in college due to his 6’9” height, played defensive end for the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys from 1974-1978 and 1980-1989. A dominating player on defense, Jones was a three-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time All-Pro. He was a member of the Cowboys team that won Super Bowl XII over the Denver Broncos, 27-10. Jones left football in 1978 to try his hand at boxing, a sport he took up in high school. He went undefeated in six bouts in the heavyweight division before returning to the Cowboys in 1980.

Jones was born in Jackson, Tennessee and attended Jackson Central Merry High School, where he played football, basketball and baseball. Jones especially excelled at basketball and was named All-American. He played basketball collegiately at Tennessee State for two seasons before concentrating on football. Jones found his calling with football, twice was named All-American and helped the Tigers to back-to-back black college national titles. He finished his college career ranked fifth in Tennessee State history with 38 career sacks and third in school history with 12 sacks in a season. Jones was drafted by the Cowboys first overall in 1974, the first player from a black college to be drafted that high.
