Offensive Tackle
No. 79
Boston College
"He played well in the preseason at both tackle spots for Robert Woods and Winston Hill and filled in for Hill during the regular season. Browne missed one regular season game with an ankle injury.
The coaches think he is coming into his own and has a good future in pro ball. Browne has the necessary quickness to go with his size but needs work on his upper body strength. He's rated as a good running game blocker and has greatly improved on his pass blocking. 1976 should be an important year in Gordie's maturity and development as an offensive lineman and he will work at right tackle primarily. He gained valuable experience in 1974 playing as a backup tackle- he only played one year as an offensive lineman in college. Gordie was drafted No. 2 in 1974 after an outstanding Senior Bowl performance against Dallas No. 1 pick Ed 'Too Tall' Jones.
Gordie played tight end and offensive tackle at Boston College. He was a member of the College All-Star squad and played in the Coaches' All-America Game. He also played college basketball.
He holds a B.S. in marketing, a B.S. in management and is earning a Master's in marketing. Gordie enjoys basketball, hockey and paddle ball and plays for the Jets basketball team in the off-season. His hometown is Millis, Massachusetts."
