Running Back
No. 33
Fort Hays College
"The 17th round draft choice in 1974, Steve became the first Fort Hays product to make it to the NFL and showed versatility and potential in his work until he was sidelined with a knee injury, underwent surgery and missed the last five games of the season.
He did a fine job in the preseason games, then had good showings as a reserve in the regular season, particularly in a 14-6 win over Dallas. His season totals were 55 yards rushing in 14 carries, two receptions for 44 yards and two kickoff returns for 47 yards, plus a 60-yard quick kick against the Redskins. Steve is one of the strongest men on the club.
Steve began his collegiate career at Kansas State with teammates like Larry Brown, Mack Herron and Lynn Dickey, then spent a year in the Army before his transfer to Fort Hays College. In two years there, he rushed for 1,891 yards and a 5.5 average-per-carry and won fine ratings for blocking ability and toughness as well.
He was born in Great Bend, Kansas and starred at Pawnee High School in his hometown. Steve spent this past off-season as a member of the Giants' Speakers Bureau and did a fine job."
