1965 Profile: Bake Turner

Split End
No. 29
Texas Tech
"The Jets dipped into the NFL for their fine split end, Bake Turner. With the Baltimore Colts, young Bake couldn't beat out Lenny Moore, but with the Jets, he's been a consistent and productive ballplayer. He caught 71 passes in his rookie year of 1963 and 58 last season when he ranked sixth in the league.
Bake is a lightweight at 180 pounds, but he has excellent speed, tricky moves and sure hands. He can also serve as a punter, and he once ran back a kickoff 95 yards in an exhibition game against Boston."

-Jack Zanger, Pro Football 1965

"One of the most reliable performers in the AFL, Bake led the Jets in receiving in 1964 and finished sixth in the league.
In 1963, Bake was voted the MVP by his teammates and played in the All-Star Game that year. In his first play as a Jet, he returned a kickoff 95 yards. Bake holds a Jet mark with 210 yards gained receiving in one game, against Houston in 1963."
