1975 Profile: John Ebersole

Linebacker
No. 55
Penn State
"The Jets regular right linebacker in 1974, Ebersole finished the season tied with Burgess Owens for the club interception lead with three. One was a 41-yard return at Baltimore, the other thefts came against Los Angeles and Houston.
Ebersole has worked both on the right side and in the middle during his career. 1973 and 1974 have been his only two seasons as a regular; he opened 1973 at the right side but in the third week he switched to middle linebacker for the injured Al Atkinson. Drafted No. 4 in 1970, John has missed only one game in his five years.
John majored in physical education and owns Ebersole Beer Distributing. His hometown is Altoona, Pennsylvania."
