1974 Profile: Carter Campbell

Defensive End
No. 79
Weber State
"The Giants obtained Campbell via waivers from the Denver Broncos just prior to the opening of the regular season in 1972 and he proved to be a valuable member of the special teams as well as a reserve linebacker. He had one key fumble recovery and one quarterback during his playing time, while doing a fine job on the special teams. Last year, he was a regular defensive end and was credited with 10 quarterback sacks. Campbell was a No. 8 draft choice of the San Francisco 49ers, then went to the Broncos for the 1971 season where he appeared in all 14 games.
Carter was a Junior College All-American at Treasure Valley C.C. in Oregon before winning two letters at Weber State as a defensive tackle. He was named to the Coaches' All-American team in his senior season, and also lettered in track as a high hurdler.
Campbell was born in Mobile, Alabama and starred at Vanden High School in California. His father was a career NCO in the U.S. Air Force. Carter designs his own clothes, has coached during the off-season at East Stroudsburg State College and is an accomplished congo drummer."
