Scott Lamberson held his breathe with the #14 pick...

Scott Lamberson held his breathe with the #14 pick then let go a collective sigh of relief when his beloved NY J-E-T-S were still available. If you pick a Jets team, you have to go with one that had Joe Willie slinging the pigskin all around the yard. In 1967 the team finished 8-5-1 and Joe Willie rewrote the record books with 4,007 aerial yards. The beneficiaries of Joe's unselfishness were George Sauer and Don Maynard. Tight End "Big Boy" Pete Lammons caught his fair share as well. The defense began to come together and Coach Eubank was beginning to sense something special might be a-brewing.
