1975 Rookie Profile: Jim O'Connor

Running Back
15th Round
Drake
"Jim was named to the All-Conference first team for the past two years, [along with] getting an honorable mention in the AP All-American listings. His best single day was a 197-yard rushing game in 1973 before injuries knocked him out of action after the seventh game.
This rugged youngster overcame a concussion and a back injury in his junior year to finish this past season with 1,031 yards rushing in 238 attempts for a 4.3 average and four touchdowns. Jim also caught 39 passes for another 309 yards and two touchdowns and finished with career totals of 2,324 yards rushing, third highest total in Drake history, as well as 74 pass receptions for 748 yards."
