1964 Profile: Glynn Griffing

Quarterback
No. 15
Mississippi
"Coach Sherman feels sophomore Griffing will be the Giants' quarterback of the future. Exactly when, of course, with Y.A. Tittle still going strong, nobody can rightly foresee. But during his rookie campaign of 1963, Griffing showed fine poise and talent during the few opportunities he received to play. He hit on 40% of his heaves (16 for 40) for a total of 306 yards. His longest completion was good for 64 yards. Glynn even managed to toss three touchdown passes. His mark of 7.65 average-yards-gained per throw ranked with the NFL's best.
Glynn was picked fourth by the club as a 'future' in the 1961 draft while still a junior at Ole Miss."
