1964 Profile: Darrell Dess

Guard
No. 62
North Carolina State
"One of the unsung heroes of the Giants' offensive line, Dess ranks among the top guards in the league and should be even better this coming campaign than he has been in the past.
Darrell was first chosen by the Washington Redskins as their 11th pick for 1958. He was dealt to the Pittsburgh Steelers, however, at the start of that campaign. Dess came to the Giants in 1959 in a trade for back C.R. Roberts in another sharp swap by the Giants' brass.
Darrell, who also won a letter in wrestling in college in addition to football, is a substitute teacher during the off-season and hopes to make teaching his full-time occupation when his grid days are behind him."

"The Steelers got Darrell from Washington at the start of the 1958 season. New York traded for him in 1959.
He plans on teaching when his pro days are over."
