Defensive Tackle
First Round
Indiana
"The top draft choice of the Jets, Barzilauskas was an All-America and is the Jets' top-rated defensive tackle.
'He is the type of player we want,' comments Charley Winner on the fact that Barzo didn't miss any time last year when hobbled with a broken bone in his foot. He was a three-year starter for the Hoosiers and led the team in tackles as a junior. He has the great size that Winner wants to upgrade the Jets and has 5.0 speed. Carl played in the East-West and Senior Bowl games.
His uncle, Fritz, played for the Giants in the early '50s and now is employed at Yale. Carl has been nicknamed 'Barzo' and 'Brontosaurus.' He attended Cheshire Academy and his hometown is Waterbury, Connecticut."
