1975 Profile: Lou Piccone

Kick Returner-Wide Receiver
No. 89
West Liberty State
"Piccone returned more kickoffs for more yardage than any other specialist in the NFL in 1974. He brought back 39 kickoffs for 961 yards, good for a 24.6 average, third best in Jet history and the finest mark since 1966. His longest was a 46-yarder against New England. Lou also had a fumble recovery, against Miami; the recovery led to the Jets' first touchdown in a 17-14 upset of the Dolphins.
Lou has good speed and developed his moves as the season progressed. He spent two years in the minor leagues, one with the Youngstown Hardhats and one with the Bridgeport Jets, and was a regular at both spots. Lou signed with the Jets as a free agent.
Lou majored in health and physical education with a minor in speech. His hometown is Vineland, New Jersey."
