Guard
No. 78
Valparaiso
"A surprise member of last year's rookie crew, Puetz won a starting job at right guard by the end of camp and was developing nicely according to coaches. He suffered a broken sesimoid bone in his foot at New England and was forced onto the inactive list for seven of the remaining nine games.
Puetz is thought of very highly by Charley Winner and his staff and will work at guard, tackle or center, and is considered to be a good potential center. He learned solid fundamentals of pass protection and worked well in partnership with Winston Hill on the right side. Puetz and Robert Woods became the only rookie offensive linemen to win a starting job with the Jets since Randy Rasmussen in 1967.
Drafted 12th in 1973, Garry was a kicker in college in addition to his line work and majored in physical education. He pronounces his name 'Pets' and his hometown is Chicago, Illinois."
