1974 Rookie Profile: Travis Roach

Guard
6th Round (1973)
Texas
"Roach joins the Jets this year after passing up signing a year ago. He had been originally a 6th round pick of the Jets in the 1973 draft. He played last year for the British Columbia Lions and started one game.
Travis was an outstanding strong side guard at Texas, teaming up with Jerry Sisemore. A great one-on-one pass blocker, he was known as one of the toughest, most competitive members of the Longhorn squad. Travis was twice All-SWC and named All-America by various groups.
Travis was a teammate of Bill Wyman at Texas. He majored in business. His hometown is Marlin, Texas."
