Defensive End
No. 87
Nebraska
"Regarded as one of the best defensive ends in the AFL, LaVerne Torczon begins his second full season with the Jets. Obtained from the Bills, with whom he was an All-AFL choice for two years.
Torczon is out of the University of Nebraska, where he was captain and the team's most valuable player. He was an All-America and All-Big Eight selection.
His Buffalo coach, Buster Ramsey, once called him, 'one of the four best defensive ends I've ever seen in pro football,' and Ramsey was a long-time NFL star.
LaVerne is an off-season school teacher."
-Dave Anderson, Pro Football Handbook 1964
