Curtis Dickey and Jacob Green,
the two catalysts behind Texas A&M
University’s football teams for the
j past four years, were swooped up in
the first round of the 1980 NFL foot
ball draft Tuesday.
Dickey was picked fifth by the
Baltimore Colts, and Green 10th by
the Seattle Seahawks, who traded
their first and third round picks to
acquire him.
Dickey and Green left immediate-
i ly after the announcement of the
yt picks to Baltimore and Seattle, re-
^*1 spectively, to meet with team offi
cials and the press.
Dickey, the second all-team lead
ing rusher in SWC behind the Oil
ers’ Earl Campbell, may be used as a
receiver due to the probable exit of
the Colt’s veteran receiver, Roger
Carr.
Texas A&M head coach Tom Wil
son said Seattle will keep Green on
the defensive line.
“I spoke with Seattle this morn
ing, and they plan to use him at left
defensive end,” he said. “That’s the
position where Jacob is most com
fortable, so that’s good.”
Green, in an interview with The
Bryan Eagle before he left, said he
was happy to go to the Seahawks.
“Oh, yeah, I’m really happy with
the pick, ” he said. “Seattle has a fine
team which already is winning and
just on the verge of being a playoff
contender.
“I’m going to Seattle now just as a
public relations thing. I’ll meet with
the press. I won’t start any contract
negotiations for a couple of weeks
yet.”
Wilson was optimistic about the
players’ chances.
“Of course, we're really excited to
have two football players from our
organization be selected in the first
round. Curtis Dickey has a bright
future in the NFL. He’s a very
talented football player.
“I’m very excited about Jacob. The
thing about Jacob is he loves the
game of football. There’s a lot of peo
ple with a lot of ability, but you rarely
find someone who loves the game as
much as he does.”
Dickey, a Bryan High School gra-
duate, becomes the second Texas
A&M graduate on the Colts. Aggie
Hall-of-Famer Ed Simonini is cur
rently a linebacker on the team.
Green, from Houston Kashmere,
is considered in many scouting re
ports to be one of the better pass
rushers in the nation.
“I’m flattered they chose to trade
Buffalo for the pick to get me... They
told me they did that because they
didn’t know if I’d still be around by
the 17th pick.”
Dickey was unavailable for com
ment.
