Alfred George Jamison (November 5, 1937 – May 1, 2021) was an American professional football player who was an offensive lineman in the American Football League (AFL) in the 1960s. Nicknamed "Al the Assassin" during his playing days for his chippy play up to and sometimes after the whistle,[1] Jamison was a star offensive tackle for the Houston Oilers.
Jamison played college football for the Colgate Raiders before playing pro ball for the Oilers. He was an All-AFL tackle in 1961 and an American Football League Eastern Division All-Star in 1962. He played in the first three AFL Championship games, winning the title in 1960 and 1961.
He died on May 1, 2021, in Columbus, Texas, at age 83.[2]
