1976 Rookie Profile: John Cheney

Offensive Tackle
Free Agent
Jacksonville State
"Chaney was signed as a free agent after a recommendation by scouts. He was a four-year letterman as a guard but will be tried as a tackle because of his size. He needs weight work and upper body strength, but rates out well as an in-line blocker.
The Jacksonville State running attack was keyed around Chaney's right guard spot and a teammate at right tackle. The Gamecocks won the Gulf South Conference title in 1970 and 1974. John also played in the 1970 Orange Blossom Classic, with Jacksonville State defeating Florida A & M.
John majored in law enforcement. He was named most valuable lineman in high school. He lettered three years in football and also lettered in basketball and baseball. John works in the fabrication business in the off-season. His hometown is Franklin, Kentucky."
