1966 Jets Defensive Tackle Profiles

PAUL ROCHESTER
Defensive Tackle
No. 72
Michigan State
"Originally a member of the Kansas City Chiefs, Paul was signed by the Jets as a free agent.
The strong defensive tackle was All-America in high school before going on to star at Michigan State. Paul played in the 1957 Rose Bowl."

JIM HARRIS
Defensive Tackle
No. 78
Utah State
Playing all 14 games last year, Jim formed an imposing defensive tackle tandem with Paul Rochester. Considered fast, smart and strong, Jet coaches foresee a bright future for the fellow nicknamed 'Big Jim' by his friends because of his size.
The holder of a B.S. degree in social work, Jim works for Police Athletic League during the off-season.


HENRY SCHMIDT
Defensive Tackle
No. 74
USC
"San Diego fans agree that Henry had his best year as a pro in 1963. A hard, vicious tackler, he is the type of ballplayer that refuses to give up. An ex-Marine, he played football for the Marine Corps in San Diego. A massive man, Henry's appearance spreads fear in the hearts of the opposition.
Henry played his college football for the University of Southern California and also for Trinity College in San Antonio."
