Defensive End
No. 71
Stanford
"Dave was the Giants' No. 4 draft pick in 1971, but before he had a chance to report to training camp he suffered a knee injury in the Coaches' All-American game and underwent surgery. He recovered sufficiently to be activated late in the season and turned in some fine efforts as a reserve defensive end. His weight had dropped to 215 after the operation but he was back up to 240 at the season's end.
In 1972 Dave limited duty at defensive end, but was a key man on the special team units. Last year he was again plagued by injuries, this time a shoulder separation, and appeared in only six games. Still, he's got fine potential.
Tipton was a defensive tackle at Stanford for two seasons after transferring from Gavilan Junior College and won All-Coast, All-Pacific Eight and second team All-American honors in his senior year. He starred in the Rose Bowl win over Ohio State and also was selected to play in the All-American Bowl in Tampa, Florida.
Dave was born in Hollister, California and was a fine all-around athlete at San Benito High School in that town. He still resides in his hometown."
