Cornerback
No. 21
Prairie View
"The Giants acquired Brown as a free agent prior to the 1970 season after he was released by the Dallas Cowboys, with whom he had played as a rookie in 1969. Otto spent his first Giant season as a reserve, seeing some duty at free safety, and in 1971 he played both safety and cornerback. Last year, he was again a reserve.
Otto earned two letters at Prairie View College in football as a running back and as a cornerback; he also served as a punt return specialist for coach Hoover Wright. Brown won the Thomas Burton Award for the Prairie View athlete with the highest academic average in the sciences. He was a pre-med student.
Brown was born in Tallahassee, Florida and grew up there, starring in high school as a football and baseball man. He still lives in Tallahassee, where he is continuing his education in the off-season."
