Linebacker
No. 57
Portland State
"Lewis came to the Jets on waivers from Buffalo late in 1974 but saw no action during his five games on the roster. He was recuperating from knee damage suffered with the Bills early in the season. Lewis was the starter at right linebacker against the Jets in the third game of the year and according to Jet film study acquitted himself very well. He's one of the reasons Jet coaches have for expecting an improved linebacking corps in 1975. Richard should be fully recovered from his injury.
Richard started seven games for Buffalo in 1973 after being picked up as a free agent. He was originally signed by Atlanta as a free agent (1972), then went to Houston on waivers (1972) and was active with the Oilers for 10 games, starting several at outside linebacker.
Richard makes his home in Portland, Oregon and enjoys fishing. He wants to be a pro coach. His hometown is Portland, Oregon."
