Offensive Tackle
No. 72
Stanford
"Called 'General Motors' because of his attorney's attempt, for tax purposes, to have his name incorporated. King had a not-uncommon rookie season, most of it on the bench frustrated that he wasn't earning his big check as a No.1 draft choice.
'I told myself before I came here I wouldn't make it hard on myself. I don't drive a big car [a '57 Chrysler]. Anyway, I'm not a very verbal person. I don't tend to stick out in a crowd, except for my size [6-6, 275].
Gordon was born February 3, 1956, in Madison, Wisconsin. While at Stanford, he was considered the best pass-blocking lineman in college football."
