Linebacker-Center
No. 64
Michigan State
"When Mickey joined the Giants as a free agent in 1961, he was tried as a linebacker. Failing to make the squad at that position, Walker shifted to guard, filling in at that spot during his rookie campaign. But in 1962, Mickey was switched to the post he originally failed at - linebacker. That's where he's been used ever since, as well as at guard and center on the offensive unit. An aggressive rock 'em-sock 'em type of player, Mickey is one of the most popular Giants.
Mickey (real name George) was a fine guard and linebacker at Michigan State but was overlooked in the draft. A participant in the 1960 Blue-Gray Game, he hopes to become a coach after his playing days are over."
