Steven Cyril DeLong (July 3, 1943 – August 18, 2010) was an American professional football defensive lineman who played in the American Football League (AFL) and National Football League (NFL). He was a first round draft selection in both the AFL and NFL drafts in 1965.[1][2] He played collegiately for the University of Tennessee, and professionally for the San Diego Chargers and Chicago Bears. In 1969 with San Diego, he set a team record with 17 sacks, a mark which stood until Gary Johnson had <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />17+1⁄2 in 1980.[3] He was traded from the Chargers to the Bears on July 26, 1972, for a fourth-round selection in the 1973 NFL draft (84th overall–Jim Thaxton).[4][5]
DeLong was inducted into the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame in 2000. He was the father of professional football player Keith DeLong, who also played for the University of Tennessee.
