Ron Jessie

Jessie attended Yuma High School where he was a three-sport athlete: all-division in basketball, all-state in football and track & field.[3] He finished the season ranked as the sixth leading wide receiver in the NFL with 761 yards and fourth in receptions (54).After playing out his contract, Jessie was signed by the Los Angeles Rams, but then commissioner Pete Rozelle mandated the team to send the Lions their number one draft choice (#8-Dennis Lick) along with Cullen Bryant as compensation.[7] In 1979, Jessie was placed on the injured reserve list after suffering a broken leg against the New Orleans Saints,[8] that also prevented him from playing in the 31–19 Super Bowl loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.[10] In 1997, after playing basketball for the University of Utah, Jessie's son Brandon was signed as an undrafted free agent by the New York Giants.
