Offensive Tackle
No. 73
East Texas State
"With the Jets in 1968 and 1969, and the Houston Oilers in 1971, Walton played on the Jets Super Bowl III squad and was the only rookie in the team's starting lineup that year. A third-round draft choice of the Jets, he had outstanding games that year against Kansas City's Jerry Mays and Houston's Pat Holmes.
Walton was selected NAIA All-America, All-Conference (three years) and first-team All-Texas. He was on defense as a freshman and was originally a basketball scholarship winner in college.
The highlight of Sam's career was playing for the Super Bowl Jets. He rejoins Jet Super Bowl teammates Babe Parilli, George Sauer, Gerry Philbin, John Elliott and Randy Beverly on the Stars.
A psychology major, Sam's hobbies are basketball, chess and reading. He is a Medical Representative for Beecham, Inc. in the off-season. His birthplace is Memphis, Tennessee."
