Offensive Tackle
No. 78
Ohio State
"A regular member of the Bills' offensive line for three seasons, Foley started every regular season game for the second straight year. He was picked as a member of the AFC Pro Bowl squad in 1974. Foley is a consistent player and strong blocker particularly in running situations.
He reached Buffalo on waivers from the Jets just prior to the beginning of the 1972 season and was a starter in 12 games his first year with the Bills. Dave was a number one draft pick of the Jets in 1969 and a New York regular in 1970. He injured a knee against Buffalo as a rookie and has had knee surgery.
Dave was an All-America and All-Big Ten tackle on Ohio State's 1968 National Champions when the Buckeyes defeated USC, led by O.J. Simpson, in the 1969 Rose Bowl game. An Academic All-America choice, he played in the College All-Star Game against the New York Jets. He also won three OSU letters in track.
Dave earned his B.S. in industrial engineering and worked during the off-season as a life insurance agent. He donated his off-season speaking fees to the Springfield, Ohio YMCA for the purchase of a Nautilus machine. His hobbies include handball, fishing and golf."
