Cornerback
No. 23
Michigan
"Hoey signed with the Jets as a free agent last November 22 after he was previously with Denver and San Diego in '75. The Jets are his sixth pro team. He played one game for the Broncos (against Green Bay) and suffered a fractured jaw. Hoey spent six weeks on the reserve list before being cut on November 17 and was the final cut by San Diego.
He started three games at right cornerback in the Jets' injury-ridden backfield. George started eight games for the Chargers in 1974, intercepting a pass and returning it 20 yards. He had a 103-yard kickoff return for St. Louis in 1971.
George was originally a 14th round pick of Detroit in 1969 and taxied for the Lions. He spent 1970 in the military and signed as a free agent with the Cardinals in 1971. George was claimed on waivers by New England in 1972 and played with the Patriots for two seasons before being waived to San Diego.
All-Big Ten for two years, George earned three letters in track with a 6.1 clocking in the 60-yard dash. He holds a degree in physical education.
George is the cousin of Herb Washington, a world class sprinter and former baserunning ace of the Oakland A's. His hometown in Flint, Michigan."
