Defensive End
No. 84
Northern Arizona
"Lomas has led or tied for the team lead in quarterback sacks for the last three years from his end position. He had five dumps in '74 for a tie for the lead, and owned the top spot exclusively in '73 with 10 and in '72 with eight. He started seven of the 11 games he played in 1974, all at right end.
He had his season cut short when he suffered a strained right Achilles tendon against Miami at Shea and was in a cast for the rest of the year. Mark aggravated the same injury playing tennis in the off-season and will have to recuperate from that damage.
Drafted 8th in 1970, Mark has a good pass rush and has now made better adjustments against the running plays to his side. He had a memorable game against Baltimore in 1972 when he dumped Johnny Unitas three times and then recovered a fumble in the rematch to set up a touchdown.
Lomas is a believer in health foods and makes his own concoctions. He's also a strong advocate of stretching exercises, which many of the Jets now use. His hometown is Garden Grove, California."
