ERICH BARNES
Cornerback
No. 49
Purdue
"A change of playing arenas worked wonders for Erich Barnes and helped get him named to the All-Pro team. A defensive halfback at Chicago since 1958, he longed for a chance to get traded and showed his appreciation by performing so splendidly in New York. The Elkhart (Indiana) antelope can do everything required of a defender and his only problem is to curb some of his aggressiveness, which occasionally causes him to stray from his assigned territory.
He tied an NFL mark in 1961 by returning an interception for a 102-yard touchdown (vs. the Cowboys) and he topped the loop in bringing back interceptions (195 yards)."
-Don Schiffer, 1962 Pro Football Handbook
"Last season, Erich intercepted a pass and returned it 102 yards for a touchdown."
-1962 Topps No. 111
DICK LYNCH
Cornerback
No. 22
Notre Dame
"Touted as the best man in all football for one-on-one coverage is Dick Lynch, the spirited corner back of the New York Giants, also the NFL's pass interception leader."
-Murray Olderman, All-Pro 1962 Football
