Linebacker
9th Round
Florida A & M
"Giant defensive coach Marty Schottenheimer personally scouted Mullens. Ken spent his career at Florida A & M as a defensive tackle and was rated the top defensive lineman of the Rattlers by his coaching staff. He racked up 138 solo tackles, 110 assists, seven fumble recoveries and 19 quarterback sacks for his three campaigns, and also produced a pair of blocked kicks.
Marty clocked Mullens in 4.8 for the 40, highly impressive for a 242-pounder, and other scouts who charted Ken's progress were high in their praise of his strength, speed, quickness, and most importantly, his toughness. All the reports were unanimous on his ability to react to the ball and deliver a powerful blow.
Mullens could well be the Harry Carson type- and the Giants would be fortunate to get another player like Carson. Harry was also a defensive lineman in college and successfully made the transition to linebacker.
Mullens hails from St. Petersburg, Fla., and earned letters in football and track at Gibbs High School in that city."
