Quarterback
No. 11
Kansas
"Originally a No. 3 draft pick of the Kansas City Chiefs, Jaynes spent one season with the Chiefs. He was traded to Atlanta in 1975 for wide receiver Tom Geredine and was subsequently released by the Falcons, with the Giants signing him this past spring as a free agent.
An All-American quarterback at Kansas, Dave has been hampered by arm miseries in his brief pro career, chiefly tendinitis, but reportedly has that arm back in good condition now. He threw only two regular season passes in 1974 for no completions. In his debut with the Chiefs in a preseason game, he threw a 46-yard touchdown pass against Detroit on his very first passing attempt.
Jaynes holds 17 passing records at Kansas where in three seasons he pitched 35 touchdown connections. He also holds marks for most yards passing in a game (401), season (2,253) and career (5,132), plus most completions in a game (35), season (172) and career (389). Dave was named Big Eight MVP, Offense in 1973.
David Jaynes was born in Bonner Springs, Kansas and was a high school All-American at Bonner Springs High School before heading to KU. He once worked as an equipment aide in the Chiefs' preseason training camp. He still resides in Kansas City during the off-season."
