1974 Profile: Jamie Rivers

Middle Linebacker
No. 54
Bowling Green
"Rivers joined the Jets this spring from St. Louis in a trade for the rights to Clifford McClain. He played under Charley Winner when he was the Cardinals head coach. Rivers has been an underrated defender during his career, having fine quickness and speed.
He was the Cardinals Rookie of the Year in 1968 when he became a regular. Rivers was outstanding in 1971 when he was the Cards MVP, but knee surgery shortened his '72 effort. He bounced back last year to have another fine campaign, playing in 10 games.
Originally drafted No. 5 n 1967 by St. Louis, Jamie makes his home in St. Louis."
