John Conner New York Jets Game Worn & Signed Black & White Nike Gloves
John “The Terminator” Conner is a former NFL fullback, most recently playing for the Buffalo Bills. Conner earned a 2009 College Football All-America Team selection and was one of the best fullback prospects in the 2010 NFL Draft. He played his college ball at Kentucky. Conner has also been a member of the Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets and New York Giants.
Conner attended Lakota West High School in West Chester, Ohio, where he was a two-year starter at running back. He rushed for 1,100 yards and 14 touchdowns, averaging 6.3 yards per carry, as a senior. That year, Lakota West gained an 8–3 record and a berth in the state playoffs. Conner was subsequently named first-team All-Greater Miami Conference and honorable-mention All-Southwest Ohio.
Unrecognized as a prospect by the two major recruiting services, Rivals.com and Scout.com, Conner was not offered an athletic scholarship, although he received some recruiting attention from Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia and Illinois, among others. He eventually chose to walk on with the Kentucky Wildcats.
As a true freshman at Kentucky, Conner appeared in the first three games of the 2005 season on special teams before sustaining a season-ending injury. He received a medical redshirt and retained the year of eligibility. In his redshirt freshman season, Conner played in all 13 games, starting the first three at fullback. In his sophomore year he also played all 13 games, starting four. He scored four touchdowns and also made two tackles in kick coverage.
By his junior year, Kentucky frequently opened with a fullback in the lineup, giving him 11 starts in 13 games. In a game versus Georgia, Conner set career highs with seven rushes for 26 yards. Prior to his senior season, Conner was named the “best blocking back” in the Southeastern Conference in the Birmingham News 2009 preseason edition. After a solid performance throughout the season, Conner earned All-American honors by Pro Football Weekly, who places an extra premium on talent and draft value in the selection process.
Considered one of the best fullbacks available in the 2010 NFL Draft, John Conner was selected in the fifth round (139th overall) by the New York Jets. He was recognized while the Jets were scouting a linebacker but they noticed Conner throwing amazing blocks over and over again. Conner quickly became a team and coach favorite among the Jets in training camp/preseason with his blue collar attitude and crushing physical play. As documented in the HBO series Hard Knocks, Former Jets head coach Rex Ryan constantly was in awe with the work ethic and tenacity of Conner. The fullback was nicknamed “The Terminator” because of the name he shares with main character Arnold Schwarzenegger from the popular movie franchise and because of the crushing blocks he lays on defensive players.
