Originally drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the 2nd round of the 1976 draft, he became a Buc in September 1977 having been on the Raiders' IR list all his rookie season. Jeb was his nickname, taken from his initials of his given name, John Eugune Blount. Never played again in the NFL after leaving Tampa Bay.
