Connie Carberg is an outstanding young lady who accomplishes unbelievable things.

She gained the respect and admiration of those in the college and professional ranks because of her total dedication.

Connie is a great joy to have around and she certainly is a young lady with great enthusiasm.

Why are we fooling around when we have a good one right here?

She always thought her pick was going to be All-Pro or player of the year.

You're making this selection, Connie.

In 1975, Connie made the first draft pick by a woman in NFL history — selecting tight end Mike Bartoszek from Ohio State in the 17th round.

GM Al Ward promoted Connie to full-time scout in 1976, making her the first female scout in the 55-year history of the NFL. Assigned to the Big Ten Conference, she traveled to games and practices across the country.

Working with veteran scout Mike Holovak, Connie helped discover Wesley Walker — a wide receiver legally blind in one eye whom others overlooked. The Jets drafted him in the second round. He became a two-time Pro Bowler and one of the most electrifying players in franchise history.

Restricted from traveling, Connie continued scouting by phone and film. She flagged Mark Gastineau when most had him as a late-round pick. The Jets took him in the second round. He went on to break the NFL's single-season sack record.

By 1981, 19 of the 22 starters on the Jets' playoff roster were players Connie helped draft or evaluate. One of the most complete rosters in franchise history.

Al Davis, the legendary Raiders owner, tried to recruit Connie away from the Jets. She declined. Her loyalty to the green and white was absolute.

In 2012, Mark Gastineau was inducted into the Jets' Ring of Honor. Connie was there by his side — the scout who found him, decades of football between them.

Six decades later, Connie still attends Jets training camp every year. She remains the longest-tenured member of the Jets family — a living link to the franchise's greatest era.
