Wesley Walker

Wesley Darcel Walker (born May 26, 1955) is an American former professional football player who played as a wide receiver for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL) from 1977 to 1989. Walker, known for his great speed, was noted for averaging over 20 yards per reception over many seasons, with a career average of 19 yards per reception. Despite being legally blind in his left eye, he overcame this handicap to become one of the Jets' all-time great receivers. Walker set many receiving and return records during his career, and at the time of his retirement, he was second in Jets' all-time receiving yardage. He was selected by the Jets in the second round of the 1977 NFL Draft, with assistance from Connie Carberg, the first female scout in NFL history.
