CAREER SNAPSHOT:

• Jeffcoat became recognized as one of the best finness rushers in the league recording 5 seasons of 10 or more sacks and 5 seasons of 70+ tackles.
• As time wore on, and with the eventual arrival of Charles Haley, Jim would share time at left defensive end with Tony Tolbert.
• After 12 seasons with the Cowboys, he’d sign with the Buffalo Bills in 1995, playing 3 more seasons with them before his eventual retirement.
• Jeffcoat has worked for the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Cougars as a defensive line coach and at the time of this post he was working for the San Jose State Spartans in that same capacity.

NOTES:

Jim’s 102.5 sacks as of 2012 still ranked him in the career top 25 for the NFL, and while he was nominated in 2008, Jeffcoat has not made the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Considered one of the finest defensive linemen to come out of Arizona State, he was inducted into their hall of fame in 1994.
