1962 Titan Offensive Line Profiles

MIKE HUDOCK
Center
No. 52
Miami
"Rugged Mike, who hails from Tunkhannock in the anthracite-laden hills of Pennsylvania, is an experienced pivotman, having played three years at the University of Miami (Fla.), two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles and two with the Titans.
Big Mike is a reliable passer [sic], blocks with shattering impact and has exceptional mobility. Fast, he's usually out in front of the Titan ball carriers, who value his crisp, decisive blocking."

-1962 Fleer No. 61



BOB MISCHAK
Guard
No. 67
Army
"Again Bob Mischak held on to his laurels as a most outstanding guard. He has twice gained All-AFL honors and his blocking remains as destructive as ever.
Drafted by the Browns, he ended up with the Giants in 1958 only to quit in '59 as a result of salary differences.
The 29-year-old out of Union, New Jersey played for Army and is one of the few West Pointers who turned to the pro ranks."

-Don Schiffer, 1962 Pro Football Handbook


JOHN MCMULLAN
Guard
No. 68
Notre Dame
"One of the few original Titans to appear at his position for the third straight season will be John McMullan, the starting right guard who, with Bob Mischak, gives the interior line that necessary blocking spark. This 27-year-old Bergenfield (New Jersey) bull is most difficult to defense due to his ability to come back with that second blocking effort.
He's also done time with the Giants and Eagles."

-Don Schiffer, 1962 Pro Football Handbook


GENE COCKRELL
Offensive Tackle
No. 70
Hardin-Simmons
Coach Bulldog Turner, who certainly knows a good offensive lineman when he sees one, knows how much Gene fortifies the Titan offensive line. He has proven himself in every game played by New York in the AFL's first two seasons.
Along with his collegiate football career, Gene was also a member of the Hardin-Simmons rodeo team.

ALEX KROLL

Offensive Tackle

No. 55

Rutgers

"An excellent blocker who calls decisive signals, Alex has tremendous hustle and spirit. The team's captain majors in English and has a special academic scholarship."

-1961 Nu-Cards No. 123

JACK KLOTZ
Offensive Tackle
No. 78
Pennsylvania Military College
Jack played every game for the Titans in both 1960 and 1961 and has shown the adaptability to protect his team's passers from the ever-changing tactics of opposing defenses. A veteran of the Canadian Football League, his experience has also been helpful to Titan running backs.
