Gus Hollomon, 1973: "A starting strong safety for Jets the past three seasons, Gus is also the club's backup punter. Had big theft vs. Chiefs to help preserve Jet victory in 1971."
Mike Battle, 1971: "Mike is part owner of a men's hair styling salon. ... A valuable member of the specialty units, Mike is almost always among the first men downfield to cover kicks and make her initial contact. His longest punt return of 1970 was a 21-yarder against the Colts to give the Jets field position for a 3rd-quarter touchdown. ... (R)eturned a punt 86-yards for a touchdown to help the Jets defeat the Giants in their first meeting ever in 1969. He suffered bruised ribs and a broken hand in 1970."
Don Maynard, 1968: "With speed to spare, Don is the Jets' long bomb threat. He was second in the AFL in pass receptions in '67, surpassed only by teammate G. Sauer. Don led the AFL with a 20.2 yd. average per catch in 1967."
Dee Mackey, 1966: "The regular starting tight end for the Jets, Dee suffered a broken collar bone late in the 1965 season against Houston. Dee was signed as a free agent by the New York club in 1963 after playing in the N.F.L. for several years. Dee won the regular tight end job in 1965."
