Autographs of Wesley Walker
Wesley Darcel Walker (born May 26, 1955) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL) from 1977 to 1989.
Walker graduated from Carson High School in Carson, California, where he set many receiving and return records, and was an All-American for the California Golden Bears, catching 86 passes for 2,206 yards and 22 touchdowns over the course of four seasons, an average of 25.7 yards per catch. Walker also participated on the California Golden Bears track and field team, anchoring their 4 × 100 m relay team to a 2nd-place finish at the 1975 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Connie Carberg, the first female scout in NFL history was credited with helping the Jets in their selection of Walker in the second round of the 1977 NFL draft. Walker had a limited start in his first weeks as a starter, catching six total passes in his first three games, although the October 2 game against the New England Patriots saw him catch his first touchdown pass from Richard Todd. He had his biggest game against the Oakland Raiders on October 23 with a game of 178 yards on four catches with a touchdown. In total of 14 games, he caught 35 passes for 740 yards with three touchdowns. The following season saw him break out. On opening day against Miami, he caught two touchdown passes while finishing with 108 yards on four receptions in a 33–20 victory. Six weeks later, he caught five passes for 154 yards with a touchdown in his best game in yardage for the year, which saw two more 100-yard games in a full slate of sixteen games. He caught 48 passes for 1,169 yards (averaging 24.3 yards per reception) with eight touchdowns. For his efforts, he was named to the Pro Bowl. He was the first Jet to lead the league in receiving yards since Don Maynard did so in the American Football League era and is currently the last Jet to lead the category as of 2023. Walker played in just nine games in 1979, catching 23 passes for 569 yards with five touchdowns. In the ninth week against Houston, he caught four passes for 111 yards, but he suffered a knee injury on a tackle by safety Mike Reinfeldt that knocked him out for the game and ultimately the rest of the year. Walker sprained his neck in the preseason before managing to get back in time for opening day in 1980. He then missed six games with a deep thigh bruise in the middle of the season. In total, he caught 18 passes for 376 yards with one touchdown.
