When Youngblood asks for his first name on his jersey, he gets his first name on his jersey.

Happy Birthday, to one of the greatest players to ever wear the HORNS.

Jack Youngblood and Superman once fought each other on a bet.
The loser had to start wearing his underwear on the outside of his pants.

Awesome. Happy birthday Jack.

Hey! Look at what is on my desk. This was a birthday present from my wife and two boys just this year.

The Man the Myth the Legend! My favorite Ram of all time hope he has a very happy birthday and many more.

Not only did he play in that playoff game with a broken leg, he didn't even limp!

Would you limp if you were Jack Youngblood's leg?

One of the biggest reasons I'm a die hard life long Rams fan! That '79 SB made me a fan for life! Happy birthday to a Rams legend!

 

[DR RAM]

Would you limp if you were Jack Youngblood's leg?

Hell no.

Well, maybe if I was a leg named, Chuck Norris.

 

[RamFan503]

Hell no.

Well, maybe if I was a leg named, Chuck Norris.

Jack Youngblood and Chuck Norris once raced around the world. Jack lapped him.

Happy birthday big Jack! Can't wait to see you run out of the coliseum tunnel for the Rams first home game!

 

[Mister Sin]

I DM'd him a Happy Birthday from the ROD.

 

[Mister Sin]

Also shot him an invite back. We will see what happens.

 

[Leuzer]

Happy Birthday Mr. Youngblood!!! :bow:

 

[Ramlock]

Happy Birthday

Imagined that I was #85 back in Jr. High.

He was very nice to my wife and son at an Arena League deal.

Good dude and great player


Edit- looked at his Twitter....no mention of the return. That's interesting.

Happy Birthday, to one of the greatest players to ever wear the HORNS.

This is a little background on the uniform name just in case anyone was wondering. Like Dodgersrf said, if anyone was worthy of having both their names on their jersey it was Jack Youngblood for sure!

In 1973 Youngblood was a Second-team All-pro selection and went to the first of his seven Pro Bowls and led the Rams with 16½ sacks. The Ram defense led the NFL in fewest yards allowed and fewest rushing yards. He was voted the Rams defensive lineman of the year by the Rams Alumni Association. Beginning in the 1973 season, the Rams added the unrelated Jim Youngblood to its roster, so from that time on, both Youngbloods had the unique distinction of having their entire name on the back of their jerseys, the given name appearing above the family name. The following year, 1974, the Rams again led the NFL in rushing defense and Youngblood led the Rams with 15 sacks while being voted a consensus First-team All-Pro. The Rams advanced to the NFC Championship game, losing 14-10 to the Minnesota Vikings.

Great thought, but I think it was more because " Jim Youngblood " Was on the team at the same time, and they wanted the Fans to be able to tell them apart!!
