1975 Profile: Randy Rasmusssen

Guard
No. 66
Kearney State
"Rasmussen turned in another consistent season at left guard. He has held down that spot for the past eight seasons and has played in 66 consecutive games heading into 1975, starting all of them. Randy is one of the major reasons why the Jets offensive line allowed only 19 quarterback sacks last year, second only to Pittsburgh in the NFL in protecting the quarterback.
Known for his great pass blocking and his powerful one-on-one type of work, he has been able to add stability to young Robert Woods, who plays alongside him. Drafted 12th in 1967, Randy is perhaps the best pulling guard the Jets have ever had.
Randy majored in mathematics. He grew up on a farm and likes to hunt and play golf. He's in great demand on the off-season banquet circuit, where he does an outstanding job.
Randy makes his off-season home in Elmsford, New York and his hometown is Elba, Nebraska."
