Linebacker
No. 55
Penn State
"Ebersole saw duty at both the right and middle linebacker posts as injuries forced constant shifts among the Jet linebackers. He opened the season at right linebacker against Green Bay and two weeks later had to take over in the middle when Al Atkinson was hurt at Buffalo. Overall he played three games at the right and started nine in the middle, though he, too, was injured late in the year. He hurt his back at Cincinnati and was inactive for one week before returning for limited duty against Baltimore.
John has adequate speed to cover the inside or the outside position. Most of his career has been as a backup. He blocked a field goal against Minnesota in 1970 when he was a standout member of the special teams.
Drafted 4th in 1970, Ebersole majored in physical education. He went to Altoona High with the Bengals' Mike Reid.
John does public relations work in the off-season for Ward Trucking Co. in his hometown of Altoona, Pennsylvania."
