Running Back
No. 40
Princeton
"Bjorklund spent the '73 season as a backup running back, alternating between running back and fullback. He has good hands for receiving, though he relies on finesse more than speed to earn his yards.
Hank started against Pittsburgh when injuries depleted Jet running backs and carried 13 times for 32 yards, and also caught two passes for 15. He spent four games on the inactive list with a hamstring problem and then a shoulder injury.
Hank has strong straight-ahead power. He's also used for kickoff returns and grabbed nine for a 19.4 average.
Drafted 12th in 1972, Bjorklund is the only Ivy Leaguer on the Jets. He was drafted by the Jets after bringing his own films to Shea Stadium for Weeb Ewbank to appraise. He's a licensed real estate salesman and a stalwart of the Jets off-season basketball team. His hometown is Glen Head, New York."
