Jack Justin Crawford (born 7 September 1988) is an American football defensive end for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Penn State and was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the fifth round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Crawford has also played for the Dallas Cowboys.
Growing up in Kilburn, London, he attended high school at City of London School, where he was in the same class as Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe. At the age of seven, Crawford was diagnosed with alopecia universalis, a rare, autoimmune disease causing the total loss of all hair on the body.
After moving to the United States in 2005, he attended St. Augustine College Preparatory School while he resided in Longport, New Jersey. Although he intended to pursue basketball, he couldn't play as a sophomore because of an international transfer rule and decided to join the American football team with no previous experience.
He found success as a defensive end and tight end in his last year, being rated as the fifteenth defensive end in the nation (Scout.com), registering 12 touchdown passes and receiving All-area honors. He also practiced basketball and football.
