Center
No. 50
Clemson
"Mulligan was acquired from Chicago in a trade late in the 1974 training camp and was installed as the Jets' number one center, playing in 13 games and starting 12. The only games he did not start were against Kansas City (he relieved) and against Chicago when he was suffering from pneumonia. He did a fine job of blocking for Joe Namath and proved a solid run blocker. Wayne had a fumble recovery against Miami to save a Namath interception and prevent the Dolphins from gaining good field position.
Wayne was the regular starting center for St. Louis from 1970 through 1973, but missed the last game of the '73 campaign with a broken arm. He was originally an 8th round draft choice of the Cards in 1969 under Charley Winner.
Mulligan was an all-state high school lacrosse star in Maryland. He enjoys music. His hometown is Towson, Maryland."
