1964 Profile: Charlie Killett

Kick Returner-Halfback
No. 37
Memphis State
"Another speedster in the Giants' backfield is Charlie Killett, who showed definite promise as a rookie in 1963. Though not used very often as a runner (he carried 11 times for 36 yards), Killett's principal duty was running back kickoffs, a category in which he finished 14th in the NFL. He returned 14 times for 332 yards, an average of 23.7 per runback. His longest jaunt was for 54 yards.
Charlie was selected in the 16th round of the 1962 draft as a 'future' but decided to turn pro in '63. The hard-running halfback will get a good shot at the running slot."
