Graduating from Evergreen High School in Vancouver, Washington, Jerry Inman attended Boise JC and was named a Junior College All American as an active 250-pound defensive tackle. He played two varsity years at the University Of Oregon with All Conference recognition as a senior in 1965. In a lackluster season, the Inman-fortified defense allowed more than two touchdowns in only three games. Drafted by the Denver Broncos as a "future choice" after his junior year, he played effectively from 1966 through the 1971 season. He missed the entire 1972 season with a severe knee injury but battled back to appear in eight games in '73. Joining the Portland Storm for the final twelve games of the 1974 World Football League season, he was an immediate starter and led the team with eight quarterback sacks. Inman returned for the 1975 season, and insured that his number 79 remained in the starting lineup until the premature termination of the season.
