1977 Rookie Profile: Dave Conrad
Offensive Tackle
12th Round
Maryland
"Scouts were impressed by his size, strength (he bench presses 390) and motivation. He can make the long snap and is a good special teamer.
Conrad was a three-year starter at Maryland- he played guard as a soph and tackle his last two seasons. He played on three Terp bowl teams: Liberty (1974), Gator (1975) and Cotton (1976). Conrad was a draft choice acquired as part of a Jets trade with the Eagles in an exchange of picks.
A local product, Dave played at Camden (N.J.) Catholic High and prepped a year at Milford (Conn.) Academy. In college, he majored in general studies. His birthplace is St. Louis, Mo. and his hometown is Cherry Hill, New Jersey."
