ERNIE WHEELWRIGHT
Fullback
No. 30
Southern Illinois
"Unlikely as it might have seemed at the start of the season, Ernie Wheelwright became the Giants' leading ground-gainer last year. A rookie with only one year of college ball behind him, and several seasons of play while in the U.S. Army Paratroops, 'The Wheel' gained 402 yards on 100 carries.
He's big and durable at 6-3 and 235 pounds, and deceptively fast. Allie Sherman thinks his initial season provided him with excellent pro experience and believes he can develop into a top-flight fullback."

TUCKER FREDERICKSON
Fullback
1st Round
Auburn
"Tucker Frederickson, the 6-3, 220-pound All-American from Auburn, may have been the best back in the country last year. He's a swift, strong runner, a good pass receiver and a solid blocker."
-Jack Zanger, Pro Football 1965
