Jon Dwane "Jaguar Jon" Arnett (April 20, 1935 – January 16, 2021) was an American professional football player. He was a first-team All-American out of USC and was chosen in the first round, second pick overall, of the 1957 NFL draft by the Los Angeles Rams.
During a successful 10-year career in the National Football League, Arnett was selected five consecutive times to the Pro Bowl from 1957 to 1961 before chronic knee pain reduced his effectiveness. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2001.
