1966 Profiles: Dainard Paulson and Bill Rademacher

DAINARD PAULSON
Safety
No. 40
Oregon State
"His teammates cite 190-pound Dainard Paulson as the most valuable player in the Jet secondary. He plays the left, or weak side, safety with great intelligence and dedication. He is not exceptionally quick, but he does not get sucked out of position often and when he hits, he hits hard.
Dane was a single wing tailback at Oregon State, but he became a safetyman when he joined New York six years ago. In 1964, he made All-AFL when he led the league with 12 interceptions, tying a league record."

-Jack Zanger, Pro Football 1966

"For the third consecutive season, this veteran defensive back led the Jets in interceptions. Dainard holds the team and AFL season record with 12 interceptions in 1964. He is the defensive captain of the Jets.
In college, Dainard played as a tailback for Oregon State."

-1966 Topps No. 97


BILL RADEMACHER
Safety
No. 23
Northern Michigan
After two seasons as a reserve, Bill is ready to assume a regular safety spot in 1966. Jet coaches are impressed by his speed, skilled hands and his fierce desire to challenge opposing receivers.
Northern Michigan's MVP in 1963, Bill made the Jets as a wide receiver in 1964, thus proving to be a two-way player who adds depth to New York's already impressive receiving corps.
