...future draft choices, he picked up Fullback Cookie Gilchrist, whose off-field antics got him in trouble with both the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos - although he led the A.F.L. in rushing (with 1,096 yds.) in 1963. For the waiver price of $100, Wilson obtained 270-lb. Earl Faison, a four-time all-A.F.L. defensive end who had played out his option with the San Diego Chargers.

...from a scout's report on Ditka: "Pound for pound, as fine a college player as there is in the U.S." On LaRose: "Great man at rushing the passer and blocking kicks." In addition, the scouts rate Indiana's solid (6 ft. 5 in., 240 Ibs.) Earl Faison as a promising defensive end ("Just an animal charging in there"), and, because of his pass-catching skills, the pros are thinking of making an offensive end out of Mississippi Halfback Bob Crespino...
