1974 Rookie Profile: Marty Woolbright

Tight End
7th Round
South Carolina
"The Giants' No. 7 pick comes from a football-oriented family. His father, former South Carolina star Cecil Woolbright, was Marty's high school coach in their hometown of Chapin, South Carolina where Marty was a quarterback for three seasons.
Under Paul Dietzel at South Carolina, the 6-5, 230-pounder was moved to tight end, a position he played for three seasons. Marty received fine ratings from scouts who were impressed with his overall versatility and potential. Dietzel also feels that Marty is a fine prospect for the NFL, citing the youngster's size, strength and versatility.
Blessed with good speed for a big man (4.7 in the 40), Marty finished with 49 catches for 660 yards and six touchdowns in his three seasons, capped by his 1973 totals of 23 grabs for 347 yards and four touchdowns. He's also a solid man on special teams.
Born in Chapin, Marty still resides in his hometown."
