1962 Profile: Don Chandler

Kicker
No. 34
Florida
"The punting man of the club is Don Chandler, the Tulsa terror whose job in '61 fell somewhat short of his previous performances. 'Babe' was the NFL's No. 1 kicker in '57 and was second-best in '58 and '59. He got off a 43.9 average last year, a trifle shy of his lifetime figure, but he wasn't in prime condition for part of the season.
He remains a major threat as an outside runner from punt formation and averaged 10 yards per carry last year in this role."

-1962 Pro Football Handbook

"Don once punted a ball 90 yards against the Bears. He finished sixth in the NFL in punting in 1961."
