Before sacks were counted Coy Bacon was one of the most feared in Pro Football. From small town Ironton Ohio and being the only person from Ironton to make it to the NFL. He moved back to Ironton and supported youth sports on getting an education first then pursue sports.

As a youth I heard Coy speak at a school assembly. His speaking stuck with me throughout the years. As a young adult I had the pleasure of working by Coy’s side at a troubled youth facility. I have learned a lot from this man. He has helped countless others through his testimony and character.

I watched Coy in high school and the Pros, he graduated with my sister. Coy accomplished a lot in the pros. With his accomplishments he is very deserving to be placed in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Coy came to speak at my school ( Lawrence Street ) when I was in the 4th grade and inspired all of us to study hard, play hard and stay out of trouble. He was a great roll model for going beyond the flood walls of racism and see the greatness in everyone.

Coy belongs in the HOF not just because of a remarkable career but for being a member of the famous "Fearsome Foursome" of the Los Angeles Rams with Rosey Greer,Decon Jones,and Jack Youngblood.....Man they were one of the greatest defensive lines ever put together in the NFL...
