No. 89
Mississippi
"Bob won three letters at Mississippi and also ran dashes in track. He's in his first year in pro ball. He was the Browns' first draft choice in 1960."
-1961 National City Bank (Cleveland), Set No. 6, Player No. 4
"A newcomer to the Giants this campaign is big Bobby, ranked as an excellent pass catcher despite having been on the receiving end only six times for 97 yards and two touchdowns in three years with the Cleveland Browns. Crespino came to New York in an even exchange for veteran defensive tackle Dick (Little Mo) Modzelewski.
Bobby, the Browns' top draft selection for 1961, was used primarily on Cleveland's kicking unit. The former Ole Miss halfback set a Senior Bowl pass catching mark with nine receptions. An injury suffered in the College All-Star Game hampered him much of the '61 campaign.
Bobby will also get a long look as a flanker back."
