Buffalo Bills Linebacker Harry Jacobs
Here is a neat video about an often-overlooked defensive star in the AFL, linebacker Harry Jacobs. This video comes from Jacobs’ 2012 induction into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame.
Todd Tobias's interest in the American Football League began in 1998, when he wrote my master's thesis about Sid Gillman. He created this site to educate and entertain football fans with the stories of the American Football League, 1960-1969. You can follow Todd and get more AFL history on Twitter @TalesfromtheAFL.

Joe Schmidt of the Detroit Lions said that the Buffalo Bills trio of Harry Jacobs, John Tracey and Mike Stratton was one of the best in professional football. Harry Jacobs in the 60’s was very similar to San Diego Charger Chuck Allen. Highly professional yet getting little publicity. Just winners.
Joe Namath brushed off the Colt’s D and said the toughest defense he ever played against was our Bills
Thanks Todd, Always appreciate it when the AFL’s greatest defense gets some attention.
