Defensive Back
5th Round
Oklahoma
"Using Kansas City's fifth round pick through the Wayne Walton trade, the Giants tabbed the Sooners' left cornerback who had fine ratings for his toughness, tackling ability and versatility.
A starter for two seasons with Oklahoma's highly rated secondary, Powers had four pass interceptions this past season for 113 yards returned. One of them was for a 45-yard touchdown against Kansas. As a junior, he also had a touchdown return with an interception, going 57 yards for the score against Clemson. Powers was also credited with 37 unassisted tackles as a senior and had eight fumble recoveries during his two starting seasons, proving he was around the ball with consistency. He has 4.6 speed and doubled as a punt return man for the Sooners. A good all-around athlete with good hands, Clyde could get a try at strong safety with the Giants.
A native of Lawton, Oklahoma, Clyde starred at Lawton High School in football and track, and still resides in Lawton."
