1977 Rookie Profile: John Hennessey

Defensive End
10th Round
Michigan
"Hennessey is a tough defensive lineman with strong arms and the frame to carry much more weight. Scouts say he is an aggressive tackler with excellent pursuit.
He started at tackle for Michigan's Big Ten championship team that played in the Rose Bowl last season; the Jets will try him at defensive end. He played in the Orange Bowl as a junior.
John made 85 tackles (58 solo) last fall. He was voted the Wolverines' top defensive player in wins over Ohio State and Minnesota in 1976.
He majored in business administration. He has helped with March of Dimes projects and worked at the Ypsilanti State Mental Hospital. John was an all-city standout at Gordon Tech in Chicago, his birthplace and hometown."
