1978 Profile: Garry Puetz

Offensive Tackle
No. 78
Valparaiso
"Garry has split his playing time between right guard and right tackle in his five seasons with the Jets and even filled in at center against the Buccaneers in 1976. He has proven to be a versatile and hardy performer, moving to the spot he's needed most.
Garry has played in 56 consecutive games with the Jets. As a 12th round draft selection in 1973, he surprised onlookers by opening rookie camp as the club's starting right guard.
Garry is an articulate and amusing speaker at banquets."
