The New Jersey Generals, in an attempt to beef up their offensive line, selected four linemen Friday in the USFL player allocation draft.
Russ Compton and Russell Mitchell of Birmingham, Greg Roberts of Memphis, and Vince Stroth of Chicago were among the ten players taken by New Jersey in the draft.
“We concentrated on upgrading the offensive line and defensive secondary positions and with these acquisitions we anticipate a very competitive training camp,” said vice president and general manager Jim Valek.
Other players picked by New Jersey included punter Rick Partridge of Memphis, DT Mike Rustmeyer from Pittsburgh, defensive backs Donnell Daniel of Chicago and Frank Duncan of Oakland, quarterback Ron Reeves and wide out Marcus Anderson of Chicago.
The allocation pool consisted of players from the now defunct Chicago Blitz as well as unprotected free agents from across the league. For complete results go here for details.
