TOMMY CRUTCHER
Linebacker
No. 56
Texas Christian
After four years as the primary backup linebacker on a star-studded Packer team that won three straight NFL championships, Tommy came to the Giants in a trade in 1968. He proved himself as a regular as he started all 14 games despite hamstring injuries. He became known around the League for his tremendous strength and tackling technique.
In a distinguished collegiate career at Texas Christian, Tommy led the Southwest Conference rushing attempts (148) in 1961 and in rushing average (5.0) in 1962.
HENRY DAVIS
Linebacker
No. 66
Grambling
Henry became one of the Giants' regular linebackers early in the '68 season and hit the opposition hard. He pursues ball-carriers with little regard for blockers. He possesses that special sixth sense which tells him where the play will be unfolding.
