No. 76
Penn State
"Huge and speedy, and a second-team All-Pro is Grier, who is a professional guitarist and singer. Rosey had a sensational 1955 rookie campaign and is still immovable as a defensive tackle who presses throughout. His gentle disposition keeps him from achieving greatness as a performer.
Born in Linden, New Jersey, Rosey was a National shot-put champ at Penn State."
-1960 Pro Football Handbook
"Big Rosey Grier (76) has been a constant bulwark of the mighty rushline that has helped the Giants win three divisional titles in the last four years. Amazingly agile for his 280 pounds, he gives fits to enemy runners and passers in his smashing sallies from right tackle. A gifted singer, the 1955 Penn State graduate plans a career in that field."
