1975 Profile: Delles Howell

Cornerback
No. 20
Grambling
"The tallest cornerback in the NFL, Howell spent 1974 primarily as a backup but earned a start at New England in the 10th week. He picked off two interceptions that afternoon, but suffered a severely sprained ankle and was sidelined for the rest of the season.
Howell was the starter on the left side for the entire 1973 season, intercepting four passes for 76 yards. He was the starting right cornerback for the Saints before coming to New York. Originally a No. 4 pick of New Orleans in 1970, Delles has had two broken hands in his career. He came to the Jets in 1973 along with Richard Neal for No. 2 and No. 3 draft choices.
His hometown is Monroe, Louisiana."
