Offensive Tackle
No. 66
Tennessee
"Hampered by a trick knee for many years, Stroud underwent an operation over the winter for the removal of knee cartilage in the hopes that his outstanding grid career can continue on its usual high level. Known as one of the best running guards in the game since donning a Giant uniform in 1953, the burly Stroud was switched to tackle in 1962 when the need arose. Jack, of course, did his usual workmanlike job.
Stroud gained All-America honors at Tennessee in 1951, being chosen fourth in the draft by the Giants. Due to two years of service as an army officer, Jack wasn't able to report until '53. He suffered knee injuries in 1957 and '58, but made comebacks then. So don't count him out yet."
