'''William Kermit Jobko''' (October 7, 1935 – December 18, 2004) was an [[American football]] [[linebacker]] who played nine seasons in the [[National Football League]] (NFL) for the Rams (1958–1962), the [[Minnesota Vikings]] (1963–1965) and the [[Atlanta Falcons]] (1966). He played college football at [[Ohio State Buckeyes football|Ohio State]].

==Early years==
He attended Bridgeport High School (OH). He accepted a football scholarship from Ohio State University, where he became a starter on the offensive line for the 1954 and 1957 national championship teams. In 1957, he received All-American and the team's most valuable player honors.

==Professional career==
Jobko was selected by the [[History of the St. Louis Rams|Los Angeles Rams]] in the 7th round (80th overall) of the [[1958 NFL draft]].

1966 was his last year as a linebacker because he developed high blood pressure and was forced to retire for health reasons.

==Personal life==
In 1968, he served as the Falcons' assistant linebackers coach under head coach Norb Heckerin. In 1969, he was hired as a Falcons college scout. From 1978 to 1989, he was the Falcons director of pro personnel.
