1974 Rookie Profile: Jim Pieterzak

Defensive Tackle
6th Round
Eastern Michigan
"Pronounced 'Peter-Zak,' this versatile young player won Kodak College Division first team All-American honors as an offensive tackle, but the Giants feel that he can develop into a defensive lineman. Jim played center, guard and tackle during his three seasons at Eastern Michigan, and also snapped for punts and placements. Only 20 years old, he has growth potential in the 265 pound class. Jim has solid strength, good quickness and was an aggressive player.
Jim also earned letters in track and in wrestling in college as a 35-pound weight thrower in track and in the unlimited division in wrestling. In addition to the Kodak honors, he was also selected by the Football News to its College Division All-American team and was also picked for third-team All-American by the Associated Press.
Born in Detroit, Jim was a three-sport standout at the University of Detroit High School in his hometown. He still resides in Detroit."
