Cornerback
No. 46
Alcorn A & M
"This swift cornerback finally earned a regular starting role in 1974 after being a backup for three years. Sowells started 13 of the 14 games, but played in the others despite bruised ribs and ankle problems. He had two interceptions, one of them a fine one-handed grab against Kansas City; his other theft came at New England in the end zone and snuffed out a fourth quarter threat.
Rich started the first three games of 1973 but hurt his shoulder at Miami and did not start thereafter. He had a great afternoon at Baltimore that year, tying the Jet record for interceptions in a game- he swiped three Colts passes, returning one 30 yards for a touchdown in a 34-10 victory.
Originally a 12th round pick in 1971, Rich's hometown is Huntsville, Texas."
