LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Jon Arnett, one of the University of Southern California’s greatest running backs who went on to play for the Los Angeles Rams and the Chicago Bears, died Saturday of heart failure at the age of 85, the school announced Monday.

Arnett came to USC from 1954 from nearby Manual Arts High School. He excelled as both a running back and punt and kickoff returner at the university, where he was known as “Jaguar Jon” because of his agility and elusiveness — skills he honed as a youth gymnast.
A three-year letterman, he earned All-American and All-Pacific Coast Conference first team honors as a junior in 1955 and also received the Voit Trophy as the West Coast’s most outstanding player. The following year, the senior co-captain finished 10th in the Heisman Trophy voting and won the Pop Warner Award while repeating as the Voit Trophy winner and an All-PCC first teamer, though he only played half the season.
After the season, he played in the College All-Star Game, the East-West Shrine Game and the Hula Bowl.
Arnett, who was inducted into the USC Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001, still ranks in the school’s career Top 25 lists for rushing, punt returns and kickoff returns.
The Rams made Arnett the second pick of the 1957 NFL Draft. He played seven seasons (1957-63) for the team. He then played three seasons (1964-66) for the Bears.
In his 10-year NFL career, Arnett ran for 3,833 yards with 26 touchdowns, caught 222 passes for 2,290 yards with 10 TDs, returned 120 punts for 981 yards with a score, and had 126 kickoff returns for 3,110 yards with 2 TDs. He also threw two touchdowns.
Arnett still holds the Los Angeles Rams’ record for the longest kickoff return at 105 yards.
After his football career ended, Arnett worked in sales and marketing, real estate development, stock brokerage, executive search, advertising, mortgage banking and investment counseling. Most recently, he had a food distribution business.
Arnett and his wife Jane founded the Retired Professional Athlete Association in 2005 to advocate for retired football players and their families.
He is survived by his wife, three children and brother Bill.

In a battle for first place in the NFC West, the Los Angeles Rams (9-5) visit the Seattle Seahawks (10-4) Sunday of Week 16 for a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Here’s a look at the early Rams-Seahawks betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Rams suffered a humiliating 23-20 home loss to the once winless New York Jets (1-13) in Week 15. The Rams, who were 17.5-point favorites (-2000 money line), became the fifth team since 1978 to lose when favored by at least 17 points. Los Angeles also fell a game back of Seattle atop the NFC West. After trailing 13-3 at halftime and 20-3 in the third quarter, the Rams rallied behind 2 QB Jared Goff touchdown passes and a K Matt Gay FG to cut the deficit to 23-20 with 6:35 to go. The Rams went 4-and-out on their next possession before the Jets ran out the clock for their first win of 2020. Goff finished with 209 yards with 2 TDs and 1 interception in the loss.
The Seahawks clinched a playoff spot with a 20-15 victory at the Washington Football Team in Week 15. They can clinch the NFC West title with a win vs. the Rams Sunday, but a loss would put them at a tiebreaker disadvantage since Los Angeles won the first meeting 23-16 in Week 10. Against Washington, Seattle built a 20-3 after three quarters but had to hang on for the win. QB Russell Wilson finished with 121 passing yards (1 TD, 1 INT) and 52 rushing yards on 6 carries. Seattle outrushed Washington 181-84 yards, led by RB Chris Carson’s 63 yards on 15 carries – RB Carlos Hyde added 55 yards and a TD on 2 carries.
