1974 Rookie Profile: Gordie Browne

Offensive Tackle
2nd Round
Boston College
"Drafted No. 2, he is another of the men with good size that Charley Winner is looking for. 'We felt he might be the most improved lineman in college last year,' comments Winner.
Browne has excellent quickness to match his size and strength, and has 5.3 speed. He played a superb game against Ed Jones in the Senior Bowl. He played tight end for two years before switching to tackle as a junior.
The coaches look for him to step in and start. Gordie is a self-made player, working extremely hard as a senior to improve himself.
Gordie played basketball for BC in 1970. He works for the Cott Beverage Company and enjoys basketball, hockey and paddle ball. Gordie has a B.S. in marketing and a B.S. in management and is going for his master's in business administration. His hometown is Millis, Massachusetts."
