Quarterback
No. 17
Duke
"The Giants acquired Hart in an off-season trade with the Buffalo Bills for a draft choice. Leo was a No. 3 draft choice of the Atlanta Falcons in 1971 and served in a reserve role that season.
He was obtained by the Los Angeles Rams early in 1972, but did not play with Los Angeles and went to the Bills that same year. He was the backup quarterback for Dennis Shaw in '72 and when Shaw was injured late that season, Hart started two games for Buffalo, going 6-for-15 in pass completions for 53 yards and rushing five times for 19 yards.
Leo broke virtually all the passing records at Duke during his three varsity seasons and was an All-ACC choice all three years there. He was named to play in the East-West Shrine, North-South and Senior Bowl games at the end of his collegiate career, and also lettered in baseball.
Hart was born in Kinston, North Carolina and was an all-around standout at Grainger High School in his hometown. He now resides in Atlanta where he is in the commercial real estate business."
