New York Jets cards

Joe Fields "has one of the fastest and most accurate snaps in the league, averaging between .7 and .8 seconds in reaching punters," says his 1983 card. "Has made appearances for Boy Scouts' memberships."

Jets players' choice for 1980 MVP: Bruce Harper, says his 1981 card.

In 1978, Pat Leahy (who also works as a teacher's aid) was one of two NFL players to score 100 points, says his 1979 card. He's "an excellent guitar player," says his 1981 card.

Greg Buttle's 1980 card says "the Jets' defense tackled passers 10 times in game vs. Bills, 11-25-61." His 1981 card says he was a member of Penn State's barbershop quarter.

It's Chris "Cubby" Ward, says his 1981 card.

Joe Klecko's 1981 card: "Joe once sparred with heavyweight champ Joe Frazier. Joe's greatest assets are his incredible quickness and the strength of his hands. If he gets a quarterback in his grasp, the passer is down."

Kevin Long's 1981 card says he's done student teaching.

Bobby Jackson's degree from Florida State is in criminology, says his 1981 card. "Bobby is becoming one of the finest cornerbacks in the NFL."

Randy Rasmussen's 1975 card calls him "perhaps the best pulling guard the Jets have ever had." A tackle at Kearney State, he was the Jets' 12th-round draft pick of 1967.
