Sean Jones' metamorphosis from reticent student-athlete to outspoken community activist-athlete reinvents itself for the umpteenth time Friday evening, May 17th, when his alma mater holds Hall of Fame ceremonies in Boston. Jones, now a household name as a defensive star in the , sprang from more spartan roots at Northeastern University, which will honor him and five other former student athletes in formal induction ceremonies at Matthews Arena. A native who now splits home life between Wisconsin, where he plays defensive end for the Green Bay Packers, and Southern California, where he spends the off season trading stocks and lending his energies to organizations of charity, Jones started his rise to fame at inauspicious Parsons Field in Brookline, Massachusetts. As a lineman for Husky head coach Paul Pawlak from 1980-1983, Jones made an earth-shattering adjustment from offense to defense after his sophomore season to become one of New England, division lAA's top quarterback stalkers. Soon there after, he was stalked himself by the NFL combine. He had 75 tackles and a team-high six sacks in his defensive debut in 1982, ands further courted an NFL courtship with 59 tackles and four QB scalps while playing his senior season with multiple injuries. Some 10 years later, he would stand eighth (99) on the all-time NFL sack list, one that includes such names at Tippett and White. At 6'7, 275, he is now entering his 11th season, and second with the post­ season revitalized Packers . Athleticism in the forms of pure speed and power has been convincing since his start in the professional ranks with the Oakland Raiders after a stint with the Houston Oilers (1988-93). Born Dwight Andre Sean-O'Neil Jones in Kingston, Jamaica, Sean has evolved into one of professional sports articulate advocates, spokesmen, and altruistic community leaders. In Green Bay, he continues over a decade of charity work in the form of the Front Four Foundation, the purpose of which is to motivate and teach goal setting and positive af firmation to young people. A stockbroker with Dean Witter in the off seasons, Sean and his wife Tina reside in Beverly Hills with two -year-old son, Dylan. Sean Jones, a leader among socially responsible professional athletes, has been elected to the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in the sport of football. Jones, Class of 1984, progressed from a force in division lAA ball to one in the National Football League, where he is currently a member of the Green Bay Packers. As a defensive end for head coach Paul Pawlak, Jones was one of New England's top quarterback stalkers en route to being stalked himself by the NFL combine. Athleticism in the forms of pure speed and power was even more convincing to professional talent assessors following Jones' switch from offense to defense in his junior year. 1 3~h A 6'7, 275 pound defensive end, Jones is e~~~ring his ~h season as a national football league starter, and his ~d with the Green Bay Packers . He has added to a stunning NFL resume that includes campaigns with with his original squad, the Oakland Raiders (1984-87), as well as the Houston Oilers (1988-93). He is eighth (108) on an all-ti me NFL sack list that includes, at number one, , and at number 7, Andre Tippett. Last fall, in his 11th season, he recorded 10 1/2 scalps as the Packers reblossomed in 1996. At Northeastern, he was a tour d'force on both sides of the football, serving his collegiate apprenticeship as an offensive lineman in his freshman and sophomore seasons in 1981 and 1982. Jones made a cataclysmic switch to the other side of the football for his junior and senior campaigns, making the transition look natural, if not somewhat belated. Jones made his mark quickly in just two defensive seasons of football. In the fall of 1982, he accentuated his defensive debut with 72 tackles and a team-high six sacks to accompany six pass breakups; despite nagging injuries as a senior in 1983, he further courted an NFL courtship with 59 tackles and four quarterback sackings; eye-opening games included a 10 tackle, 2 sack performance in a 31-14 win over Massachusetts, and a 12-tackle 1 sack gem against Maine. Still, not all NFL aficionados were convinced, one being the New England Patriot's Dick Steinberg. , owner and general manager of the world champion Oakland Raiders was impressed, though, and his chief scouts concurred, as they selected Jones as their first pick in the 1984 draft.
