1976 Rookie Profile: Larry Faulk

Defensive Line
7th Round
Kent State
"Drafted seventh, Larry is a very strong, physical player with quick feet, agility and excellent lateral movement. He has good acceleration and speed for a big man (4.9 in the 40) and strength (he bench presses 300-plus). Larry surprised Jets coaches when he reported for rookie weekend at a stout 260. Scouts say he could be a solid pro with improvement on shedding blockers and getting more reckless. He rates out high in quickness off the ball, pursuit, tackling and balance.
Larry led Kent State's 'Carat Gold' defense while playing either linebacker or nose guard. His honors include 'Mr. Defense' in the Mid-America Conference in 1974 and first team All-MAC for three years. His career totals show 213 solo tackles, 142 assists, a fumble recovery and an interception.
Larry majored in business. His hometown is Cincinnati."
