Tucker missed that season with his first knee injury.  Sadly as I remember 12 other Giants also incurred season ending injuries in 1966.  Good reason they finished 1 - 12 - 1.

WHO AM I ????

I was drafted by the Giants in the 17th round.

My first preseason I caught 3 TD passes and made the practice squad heading into the season.

After learning the playbook I was activated in Week 8 and caught 4 passes for 90 yards and also had a TD reception nullified by penalty.

The next week my first start I caught 1 pass for 7 yards.

At practice that following week I severely broke my arm and was done for the season.

I played in 2 games that year.  I never played another game in the NFL.
 
My QB, who is in the Hall of Fame, said I had the same big play potential as Homer Jones.

So close Rich.  253 pounds.

I was shocked to read the weights across the starting 5.  I thought it would be 15 pounds heavier.
