1974 Rookie Profile: Wade Brantley

Defensive Tackle
6th Round (1973)
Troy State
"Brantley was the Giants' 6th round choice in 1973 and showed promise in the preseason training camp before suffering a knee problem which required surgery and put him out of action for the remainder of the year.
Wade originally began his collegiate career at the University of Georgia, then switched to Troy State where he won All-Gulf Conference first team honors twice, and was also NAIA and AP honorable mention All-America. Named defensive MVP in 1972, he holds Troy State marks for most tackles in a game (14) and a season (80) as well as for fumble recoveries in a season (4).
Born in Augusta, Georgia, he still resides there."
