1967 Profile: Pete Lammons

Tight End
No. 87
Texas
"No matter which side he plays on, Pete Lammons always seems to be coming with a Joe Namath pass. As a collegian at Texas, he played tight end and linebacker, and against Namath's team in the 1965 Orange Bowl, he intercepted two passes.
Last year, as the Jets' rookie at tight end, he captured 41 passes for 565 yards and four touchdowns to lead the AFL at his position. A 6-3, 238-pounder, Pete made a rapid adjustment to the pro game for a rookie, finishing fourth in the league in receptions."

-Jack Zanger, Pro Football 1967

"Who was the Jets' top rookie last season? Tight end Pete Lammons."
