The Pittsburg native Homer Jones played for the Giants, after which he spent a short time with Cleveland. Jones returned a second-half kickoff in the first Monday night football game, leading Cleveland over Joe Namath and the Jets. A poster of Jones was the first thing visitors saw at the Pittsburg High School auditorium, where they held his celebration Saturday night. He never boasted about having played in the NFL. Houston drafted Jones, but he wound up with the Giants after suffering a knee injury, with stops in Cleveland and St. Louis before knee issues forced him to retire at 29. He had a brilliant seven-year career.
