New throwback posted by Tony on our homepage! Check it out. Do you guys remember Larry Faulk?

#74, DT Larry Faulk
With the 188th pick in the 1976 NFL draft, the NY Jets selected a quiet difference maker who will be forever revered in Jets lore.
Born February 12, 1953 in New Brockton, Alabama. Larry attended Kent State where he was named to the ALL-MAC Team in 1973 and 1974. In 1975 Larry was named team captain.
In 1977, Larry changed his name to Abdul Salaam to help find serenity in his life. That name translates to “Soldier of Peace”. Abdul retired a Jet after the 1983 season. He ended up with only 2.5 sacks during his career, but he was a major factor in the Jets evolution and success of the Sack Exchange. Abdul constantly absorbed double and sometimes triple team blocking schemes, which paved the way for his fellow defensive lineman to get to the quarterback at a record setting rate.
Abdul Salaam was an impact player. He didn't have gaudy #s or pro bowl appearances, but he was part of the face of our Jets franchise for 8 seasons.
