1964 Profile: Lane Howell

Offensive Tackle-Defensive Tackle
No. 78
Grambling
"Slated for heavy duty at the all-important right tackle spot is second-year man Howell. Lane can play both offense and defense, thus enabling Sherman to maneuver a bit more easily if he so desires.
Lane, the Giants' 15th draft selection, was a star center as well as linebacker at Grambling, gaining All-Conference honors for two straight seasons. It's quite possible that Howell will contribute as much to the Giants' future fortunes as his running mate and boyhood idol, Rosey Brown.
Lane, Grambling's captain for two seasons, wants to eventually become a high school teacher and coach."
