Flanker
No. 13
Texas Western
"Don Maynard is a 185-pound flanker who one of these days is going to put all of his skills together and enjoy a dream season.
Maynard has tremendous speed (he can run 100 yards in under 10 seconds), good fakes and good hands. He must learn, however, to stick to his patterns and not 'bust' them.
Don holds seven team records: most points, career (234), most pass receptions, season (72), most pass receptions, career (255), most touchdown passes caught, career (39), longest pass reception (89 yards), and most yards gained receiving passes, season (1,265) and career (4,562)."
-Jack Zanger, Pro Football 1965
"Don is one of the four remaining players who started the New York franchise when the AFL was formed in 1960. He holds eight club records, including 234 points scored during his career.
The speedy flanker back finished third on the Jets in receiving and second in touchdowns caught for the 1964 season.
Don played football for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the Canadian Football League in 1959."
