Really bummed to hear this. Loved hearing him tell stories about the old league when he'd be on those NFL Films Presents shows. RIP

Paraphrasing a little here but this is my favorite quote from Deacon describing his famous head slap move:

"whenever you go upside the head of a man....or a woman, they tend to blink their eyes. That blink was just the edge I needed."

35 second youtube clip of the quote
