Any relation to the "Lonesome" end Bill Carpenter on the Army Football team in the late 1950s ?

Gordon "Gordie" Bell, Willie Spencer and Larry Watkins, not to mention Doug Kotar and Larry Csonka, making up the Giants' backfield of 1977.
If we're talking Giants running backs it's Joe Morris and OJ Anderson for me.
If we're talking the great RBs of the league when I first was becoming a serious fan, it's Payton, Dickerson, and Allen.

No Ernie Wheelwright, Junior Coffey from the 60's? Johnny Roland? Marsh White? Joe Orduna? Billy Taylor? Dan Doornik? Heh.
Many of those above but the first RB I really remember is Phil King.
Brandon Jacobs, John Riggins, Sweetness (Walter Payton), Roger Craig
If you never saw Jim Brown in person like I did , you missed something special.

Delvin Williams. I was a big 49ers fan when I was very young (and they were not very good). My father took me to a Giants game against the 49ers so I could watch him play and the rest, as they say, is history.
The Baby Bulls....Tucker, Koy, Thurlow, Wheelwright, Mercein.
Actually the first I watched was Phil King, but since he basically cost us the '62 Championship I have wiped his memory from my vocabulary.

He played with the Chiefs was the power back with them on he was kind of on the short side. He played in the same backfield as Garrett
