1968 Bills Linebacker Profiles

HARRY JACOBS
Middle Linebacker
No. 64
Bradley
Harry is the signal-caller for the Buffalo defense and one of the most punishing tacklers in the pros. A defensive stalwart since coming to the Bills from the Patriots in 1963, he made two interceptions in 1964 and two more in 1966.
As a collegian, Harry was Bradley's Athlete of the Year and played in the College All-Star Game.


MIKE STRATTON
Linebacker
No. 58
Tennessee
"It was of no solace to opposition teams last year that Mike Stratton was not playing at full strength. He was just as mean as ever, and few offenses took advantage of him.
Rated second only to Bobby Bell as a corner linebacker, Mike has the speed to run with any halfback in the league, which makes him especially tough on pass defense. His coach, Joe Collier, says he's the best blitzer in the league; and it's a fact that when he nails you with a tackle, you know you've been hit.
Now in his seventh AFL season, Mike came to the Bills as a 13th round draft choice after getting out of Tennessee in 1962."

-Jack Zanger, Pro Football 1968


PAUL GUIDRY
Linebacker
No. 59
McNeese State
This headhunting youngster has proven himself more than worthy of joining Mike Statton and Harry Jacobs in Buffalo's feared linebacking corps. His search and destroy spirit of play puts extra pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
