1975 Profile: Bob Grim

Wide Receiver
No. 27
Oregon State
"Grim came to the Giants prior to the 1972 season in the trade with Minnesota for Fran Tarkenton and saw only limited activity with the Giants that year after reporting late to camp. In 1973, he won a starting role from the start of camp and had an outstanding year, catching 37 passes, most of them of the acrobatic variety, for 593 yards and two touchdowns. Last year, the wily receiver added 29 grabs for 466 yards and two more touchdowns. Blessed with fine moves, Bob has also been a fine punt returner during his career.
A No. 2 draft choice of the Vikings in 1967, Bob had his top season in 1971 with Minnesota, catching 45 for 691 yards and seven touchdowns and making the Pro Bowl, where he caught another touchdown for the NFC team. He also rushed six times that year for 127 yards, an average of 21.2 per carry!
Grim was a three-year letterman at Oregon State as both a running back and a wide receiver and also played some defensive back. He starred in the Senior Bowl after his final season, being named MVP on offense, and also was selected to play in the College All-Star Game of 1967.
Bob was born in Oakland, California and was an all-around star at Red Bluff High School in Red Bluff, California."
