Quarterback
Northern Illinois
12th Round
"Giants scout Roosevelt Brown liked what he saw of Golsteyn on several occasions this past season, citing Jerry's size, set up, strong arm and potential. A rangy 6-4, Jerry was a three-season starter at Northern Illinois and compares favorably with his school's George Bork, a Little-All American several campaigns ago. Named offensive captain in both 1974 and 1975, he had any number of stellar afternoons, including an 11-of-16 for 143 yards against Marshall College.
Though Northern Illinois did not make great use of the pro sets on offense, Golsteyn nonetheless has fine gradings on his quickness in setting up and his instant release. He's equally adept at going deep with his strong arm or pin-pointing shorter passes. Jerry has 4.8 speed in the 40 and made good use of that speed as a running quarterback in a run-oriented offense.
Born in West Allis, Wisconsin, Golsteyn was an All-State quarterback at Central High School in his hometown, setting school passing records en route. He also lettered in basketball and set the school season rebound record. Jerry still lives in West Allis."
