1966 Profile: Tucker Frederickson

Fullback
No. 24
Auburn
"Tucker Frederickson lived up to his advance notices as a Baby Bull, emerging as one of the league's rookie backs in 1965. He wound up eighth in rushing, with 659 yards on 195 carries for a 3.8 average and five touchdowns.
The 6-3, 220-pound All-America from Auburn can do it all: he's a devastating blocker, a good pass catcher and most of all, a powerful runner with excellent moves and balance. He's dynamite past the line of scrimmage, where he can use his speed and strength to bowl over would-be tacklers."

-Jack Zanger, Pro Football 1966

"Tucker, the Giants' first-round pick for 1965, had a great rookie season. He was the league's eighth-leading rusher with 659 yards for five touchdowns and a 3.4 average. He also caught 24 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown, and his blocking has been excellent."
