Defensive End

2nd Round

East Central Oklahoma

Gastineau gained the attention of pro scouts when he was named the outstanding defensive lineman for the North in the Senior Bowl, the same honor won by his new defensive linemate Marty Lyons for the South. He had 27 quarterback sacks in two seasons for East Central, and as a senior made 107 tackles (26 solo). He has the size (6-5,253) to be a defensive tackle and the speed and quickness (4.7 in the 40) to be a defensive end.

1st Round

Alabama

The Jets have continued the rebuilding of their defense with this consensus All-American and unanimous All-SEC, who was named most valuable defensive lineman for the South in the Senior Bowl. 'Marty was our best player,' says Bear Bryant.

In 1978 Lyons led the Tide with 119 tackles, including 15 QB sacks, caused four fumbles, recovered a fumble and broke up a pass. In 1977, after replacing Bob Baumhower, now with the Dolphins, he had 59 tackles (34 solo), five quarterback sacks and two fumble recoveries. Lyons made 11 tackles in the Crimson Tide's victory over Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl.
