1963 Profile: Frank Gifford

Flanker
No. 16
USC
"From 1952 through 1960, Frank Gifford gained more than four miles rushing and passing for the Giants. He retired in 1961 to be a sportscaster but couldn't stay away. Last year he returned in a new role - flanker back. Now that he has learned the job, beware! Handsome Frank (he's been a leading man in the movies and TV) knows just what the pass defenders will do. He averaged 20.4 yards a catch in 1962.
Born in Bakersfield, California, Frank was a triple-threat All-American at USC. He was the League MVP in 1956."

-Don Schiffer, Pro Football 1963
