JIM TURNER
Place Kicker
No. 11
Utah State
Last year Jim wasted no time establishing himself as the franchise's first true place-kicking specialist. As the Jets opened the season at home by inaugurating pro football in Shea Stadium, his three field goals and three extra points were part of a 30-6 New York victory.
Over the course of the season, Jim's 13 field goals, including a Jet record 50-yarder, were fourth in the AFL. He was 33-for-33 on PATs, finishing sixth in both extra points and extra point attempts, as well as sixth with 72 points.
CURLEY JOHNSON
Punter-Halfback
No. 33
Houston
"Curley began his career in the American Football League with the old Dallas Texans. He was traded to the Jets midway through the 1961 season.
He's a versatile performer who can play fullback, halfback and tight end. He holds the Jets mark with a 70-yard punt. A natural born athlete, Curley won a home run hitting contest at Shea Stadium last year!"
