1974 Profile: Randy Rasmussen

Guard
No. 66
Kearney State
"Rasumssen has been a top performer for the Jets for the past seven seasons, holding down the left guard slot. Known for his great pass blocking and his powerful one-on-one type of work, he's a leader who was able to work closely with rookie Robert Woods when the latter became the left tackle. Rasmussen is perhaps the best pulling guard the Jets have had in recent years, and a very coachable player who provides a link in Joe Namath's corps of protectors. He's one of the reasons why the Jets running game has been so successful in recent years when Namath has been sidelined.
Drafted 12th in 1967, Randy majored in mathematics. He grew up on a farm and likes to hunt, and play golf and tennis. He's in great demand on the off-season banquet circuit and works as an institutional broker for Jeffries and Co. during the off-season.
Randy makes his off-season home in Elmsford, New York and his hometown is Elba, Nebraska."
