JOHN ELLIOTT

Professional Football Player. For seven seasons (1967 to 1973), he played at the right-defensive tackle and defensive-end positions in the American and National Football Leagues with the New York Jets. Born Darrell John Elliott, he attended Warren High School ( Texas ), and played collegiate football at the University of Texas . Chosen by the Jets during the 7th round of the 1967 NFL Draft, he appeared in 85 career regular season games, earning First Team All-Pro Honors in 1969; he achieved Pro-Bowl status three consecutive years (1968 to 1970). Elliott was a key component of a prolific Jets' defensive-line, which included Gerry Philbin, Paul Rochester and Verlon Biggs; they would play a vital part during the 1968 season, which led to New York 's upset victory over the favored Baltimore Colts in the World Championship Game (Super Bowl III) on January 12th 1969, quarterbacked by Joe Namath. Elliott extended his football career an additional season (1974), playing with the New York Stars of the World Football League. Following his football career, he returned to Texas where he served as a sheriff; he later established an oilfield service company with his wife. He died from cancer. (bio by: C.S.)
