DEE MACKEY
Tight End
No. 89
East Texas State
"Dee was signed by New York scouts as a free agent in 1963. He completed his second season with the Jets in 1964, though he has been a combatant in the pro football wars for five years. With the men from Shea Stadium, Dee split playing time at tight end with teammate Gene Heeter in '63 and '64.
This football vet is great at finding an open spot."

GENE HEETER
Tight End
No. 85
West Virginia
"For the past two seasons, Gene has split the tight end duties with teammate Dee Mackey. Gene came to the Jets from San Diego. He missed half of his rookie season because of a bad knee injury. Gene scored his first touchdown on opening night at Shea Stadium by grabbing a Dick Wood pass.
Coach Weeb Ewbank has the speedy offensive end scheduled for more duty in 1965."
