1974 Profile: Ed Galigher

Defensive End
No. 85
UCLA
"A promising young defensive lineman who Charley Winner is counting on for 1974, Galigher has great size and strength and loves to play the game. He will contest for a starting position this year and is a major link in rebuilding the Jets front four.
Galigher has been hobbled by nagging injuries in each of his two years. He had a broken bone in his wrist in 1972 and last year was set back with a badly sprained ankle early in the year. He spent seven games on the inactive list, but should be in perfect shape to go this season. As a rookie he played three positions (LT, RT, RE) but last year was strictly a left end.
Drafted 4th in 1972, Ed majored in engineering. He won the California JC wrestling championship in the last two seconds of the match. His hometown is Hayward, California."
