Linebacker
No. 56
Southern
"Turk has great potential to help the Jets in 1975. He was easily among the most outstanding rookies in training camp last year before a shoulder separation put him on the shelf midway though the preseason. Turk had surgery in August 1974 to repair ligament damage to the left shoulder and has undergone therapy to strengthen it; he should be 100% this year.
He was working on the left side and proved to be a lusty hitter. Godwin strung out running plays to his side, rarely letting anyone get around him. He plays off the blocks exceptionally well. A No. 3 draft choice in 1974, Godwin has a strong chance to start, according to Jet coaches, and to help the team for years to come.
Godwin majored in physical education and worked as a teacher in the off-season. He's considering medical school and a future in the funeral home business. His brother played for Lamar Tech. His hometown is Houston, Texas."
