1979 Profile: Clark Gaines

Running Back
No. 21
Wake Forest
"Clark is as fine a receiver coming out of the backfield as anyone. He has total concentration during the game and seldom fumbles. His blocking is great and he rarely misses any blitzing linebackers.
Clark was an outstanding junior college runner in North Carolina."

1979 Profile: Derrick Gaffney

Wide Receiver
No. 81

"The Jets' second leading receiver in 1978, Derrick enjoyed an outstanding rookie campaign last year. He has great hands, runs precise patterns and has good elusiveness after making the catch. He runs the 40-yard dash in 4.7.
Derrick is nicknamed 'All Well' after a Richard Pryor comedy album."
