1974 Profile: Rob Spicer

Linebacker
No. 59
Indiana
"Spicer earned three starting assignments at right linebacker as a rookie last year. He suffered rib damage against Buffalo and Miami and also aggravated an ankle against the Dolphins. He had a 12-yard interception against Miami at Shea Stadium.
Rob had a strong preseason with two fumble recoveries against the Eagles. He still needs to learn, but is a promising young linebacker as the Jets work to rebuild that unit.
Drafted 9th in 1973, he majored in geology. His brother Keith is pitcher in the Detroit Tigers' farm system. Rob was a teammate of '74 top pick Carl Barzilauskas at Indiana. He enjoys trout fishing for leisure activity. His hometown is Detroit, Michigan."
