Jim was the starting right cornerback during the '66 and '67 seasons, but inexplicably lost that job in 1968 to Alvin Haymond. (Haymond was acquired from the Colts for running back Timmy Brown, and had mostly been a punt returner during his 4 years in Baltimore.)
After the 1968 season, Nettles and T Bob Brown were traded to the Rams for CB Irv Cross, T Joe Carollo, and G Don Chuy. Jim played his final 4 seasons with Los Angeles, and was their starting left corner in 1971 and their starting free safety in 1972.
