BAKE TURNER
Split End
No. 29
Texas Tech
"The Jets hope that their fast split end, Bake Turner, can reverse the trend of the past two seasons. In 1963, his first year as a Jet, the 179-pounder from Texas Tech caught 71 passes for 1,007 yards. In '64, Bake slid to 58 receptions, and last year he caught only 31. In fairness, he was hampered by injuries in 1965, and he depends on his speed to get him deep for the long pass.
Bake holds the team record for yards gained in a single game - 210, against Houston in '63. He played for the Baltimore Colts before joining the Jets."
-Jack Zanger, Pro Football 1966
GEORGE SAUER
Split End
No. 83
Texas
"Last year George played as a split end at the beginning of the season, but midway through the campaign switched to tight end. He rounded into shape quickly after missing the preseason training camp because of a pulled muscle.
George was a math major at Texas."
-1966 Topps No. 101
