He latched on with New England for 1973, but, again, never saw a down of action with the Patriots that season. "Clinched berth on Chiefs roster with 1974 pre-season performance against Rams when he returned kickoffs for 81 and 41 yards and also scored touchdown on 66-yard passing play."

Holds Maryland single game receiving record of 144 yards against Penn State in 1974."
