No. 65
Widener
"A young, baby-faced 'sleeper' draft choice who wound up playing in all 14 games and starting the final 10 at center in his second year, Fields has good quickness and fine attitude. He's an excellent long snapper on punts and placements. Joe has a good future but could use more strength and weight. He played in all 14 games as a rookie while handling snaps and backup center duties.
He never missed a play at Widener College (Chester, PA) despite a contused shoulder and a sprained ankle as a senior. All-conference in 1974, Fields called the blocking assignments for the offensive line. He was a teammate of Billy 'Whiteshoes' Johnson.
Joe has a B.S. in accounting. He's nicknamed 'W.C.' His birthplace is Woodbury, New Jersey, and his hometown is Deptford, New Jersey."
