Cornerback
No. 46
Alcorn A & M
"Rich suffered a fractured shoulder in training camp when blocked by teammate Shafer Suggs. He missed the entire preseason and the first four games.
He had three starts, replacing Suggs at left cornerback when he was injured and Ed Taylor at right cornerback when he missed the final two games. 'He's an experienced cornerback who can play either corner, and he gives a good effort,' says head coach Walt Michaels. Rich had two interceptions, 16 solo tackles and seven assists.
Rich was a regular cornerback in 1974 and 1975 after three seasons as a spot player, starting six games as a rookie in 1971. He had his greatest afternoon against the Colts in 1973, tying the Jet record for interceptions in a game (3), and returned one 30 yards for a touchdown. He has 10 career interceptions for 115 yards and an 11.5 average, and one touchdown.
Twice chosen the outstanding defensive back [of the week] in the SWAC as a senior, Rich played in the Orange Blossom Classic. He majored in business administration.
Nicknamed 'Petey,' his hometown is Huntsville, Texas."
