Safety
No. 25
Minnesota-Duluth
"Off his fine performance of last season, Pesonen ranks as the Giants' regular left safetyman. His dogged covering and spirited play enabled him to finally win the post after being used spottily since his arrival from the Minnesota Vikings. Dick was obtained from the Giants in 1962 in exchange for veteran linebacker Cliff Livingston and a high draft pick.
Pesonen began his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers in 1960, being signed as a free agent after starring at the U. of Minnesota's Duluth branch. The Vikings obtained him in the player pool contributed by the other teams to help stock the fledgling outfit.
Though a New York resident now, Dick still loves to hunt and fish."
