Guard
Free Agent
Illinois
"The youngest Jet rookie, Jerry was signed as a free agent. He impressed coaches in rookie camp with his initial quickness off the ball.
Jerry was a three-year letterman who started in the defensive line but switched to offense, where he played guard and tackle. He was second-team and all-academic Big Ten and played in the North-South and Blue-Grey Games. A marketing major, Jerry captained the Illinois track team and won the Big Ten discus title as a junior.
Born in Chicago, he was a football and track standout at Fremd High in his hometown of Palatine, Illinois. His name is pronounced FIN-is."
