1962 Profile: Joe Walton

Tight End
No. 80
Pittsburgh
"A tight end who blocks as fiercely as a tackle, Joe Walton gives New York a dual threat at the vital flank position.
He was a Giant first-timer in 1961 - coming from the Redskins - and compiled his best offensive mark, catching 36 passes for 544 yards.
Born in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, he comes a fine football family - his father Frank was a Redskin 14 years and his brother Frank was a Steeler."

-Don Schiffer, 1962 Pro Football Handbook

"Joe was acquired from the Redskins in July of 1961. He's a top-notch pass receiver."

-1962 Topps No. 103
