Safety
No. 20
Mississippi
"An All-Pro selection at the safetyman spot six times, Patton also doubles as assistant defensive coach under Andy Robustelli. Jimmy's principal assignment is to work with the halfbacks and safetymen on pass defense.
Patton brought down six enemy passes last season. The still-fleet veteran led the league in 1958 with 11 interceptions and tied for second in 1961 with eight. The Giants' right safety was the Giants' eighth pick in 1955. During his rookie campaign, Jimmy hit paydirt by scoring six-pointers on a 98-yard kickoff return and a 70-yard punt return in the same contest. Patton also starred in track and baseball while at Ole Miss."
