1978 Profile: Abdul Salaam

Nose Tackle
No. 74
Kent State
"Formerly known as Larry Faulk, Abdul became a starter at right defensive tackle for the Jets last season. He had a good rookie season for the club in 1976 when he played in all 14 games, starting three at left tackle and right end in the defensive line. He had 24 solo tackles for the Jets in 1976.
Abdul has good potential. He pursues extremely well and he's quick. Abdul is a hard hitter.
He led Kent State's 'Carat Gold' defense while playing either linebacker or nose guard."
