Flanker
No. 40
Cincinnati
"There is a minority group of approximately 60,000 fans which believes that Joe Morrison is the most underrated flankerback in the league. These, of course, are the fans at Yankee Stadium, who have made Joe their favorite Giant since he came to New York nine years ago.
You know, they could be right. Joe has been the Giants' all-everything man, a versatile performer who has been used at six different positions, including defense. He was even readied once to be the backup quarterback - a position he hasn't played since his college days at Cincinnati U.
But he is most at home on the flank, where last year he had a typical season, catching 37 passes for 524 yards and seven touchdowns. When the Giants had to play him as a set back in '67, he managed to pick up 161 yards on 36 carries for a 4.5 average and two scores. He makes up for his lack of speed with finesse, excellent hands and all-out effort."
-Jack Zanger, Pro Football 1968
"In 1967, Joe scored two touchdowns rushing and seven touchdowns receiving. He has played halfback, fullback, split end, tight end, flanker and safety."
