Wide Receiver
No. 91
North Carolina State
"Don was re-signed as a free agent in the spring. He was waived last October 7 after playing in four games. He caught five passes for 36 yards, a 7.2 average. In the 1976 preseason, he had nine receptions for 74 yards.
Also used as a holder, Don has excellent hands and runs good patterns. He doesn't have great speed and has a slight build.
Don had an outstanding college career with his twin brother, Dave, a quarterback who was also drafted by the Jets in the 12th round. His brother was cut in the preseason and now plays for the Calgary Stampeders in the CFL. Don set school records for catches (102) and yards (1,735) and made the Football Writers' All-America first team. He played in two Peach Bowls and in the Liberty, Astro Bluebonnet, Hula and Japan Bowls.
An economics major, Don is five minutes younger than his brother Dave. He wears contact lenses. Don's biggest thrills include his four bowl appearances and defeating Penn State. His birthplace and hometown is Akron, Ohio."
