Quarterback
No. 12
Tampa
"This left-handed quarterback came to the Giants from Green Bay for a 1976 draft choice just prior to the regular season opener last year and appeared in four games- three as a starter. Jim had 12 completions in 32 attempts for 165 yards, three interceptions and no touchdowns.
Originally signed as a free agent by the Miami Dolphins after an earlier trial with Cincinnati, spending the 1971 season on the Miami taxi squad, he saw some action in 1972 when Bob Griese was hurt, hitting 5-of-9 passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns. Traded to Green Bay in 1973 for a pair of draft choices, Del Gaizo was a starter there before being kayoed with injuries. With the Pack, he showed a 27-for-62 reading for 318 yards and two touchdowns.
Del Gaizo began his collegiate career at Syracuse, then found his way to Tampa where he earned three varsity letters and set a total of 12 Tampa passing records before he was finished.
Jim was born in Boston, Mass. and played his high school sports at Revere High School in Revere, Mass."
