Running Back
No. 40
Oklahoma State
"Case for missing persons. Let's see, in his rookie year of 1978 he rushed for 1,060 yards and seven touchdowns. Terry started off a lot faster than O.J. Last year, he wasn't quite as visible, finishing with 484 yards and just one touchdown.
One reason for his off-year was 99 fewer carries. However, his rushing average dropped from 4.5 to 3.5.
His whereabouts could be Oklahoma where he has ownership in two construction firms. He also has a pilot's license, so check out the friendly skies.
Details: Born in Columbus, Georgia. College: Oklahoma State, everybody's All-American. Hometown: Colorado Springs. Hey, check out the ski slopes! Rumor: Heading back to Buffalo and a big season."

"Terry enjoyed one of his finest games for the Bills, against the Jets on November 26, 1978. That afternoon he rushed for 208 yards on 21 carries and scored two touchdowns."

1980 Profile: Jerry Butler
Wide Receiver
No. 80
Clemson
"Future phenom. Butler caught 48 passes for 834 yards (17.4) and four touchdowns- all against the Jets in one afternoon when he had 10 grabs for 255 yards. The yardage and touchdowns were new Bills single-game records. The fifth player taken in last year's draft, Butler missed three games.
He once beat Olympian Harvey Glance in an NCAA indoor qualifying race. Butler went to Clemson on a track scholarship and wound up breaking many of the school's receiving records while also leading the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Born in Greenwood, South Carolina, Butler was a quarterback in high school- and four years later an All-American wide receiver. He was a favorite college target of Steve Fuller, now with Kansas City."
-Dave Newhouse, The Complete Handbook of Pro Football, 1980 Edition
"Jerry's finest game of 1979 was against the Jets on September 23. He caught 10 passes for 255 yards and touchdowns measuring five, 75, 74 and nine yards. It was one of the top performances ever by a rookie."
