Defensive Tackle
No. 71
Stanford
"The veteran defensive lineman was obtained on waivers from the Philadelphia Eagles at cutdown time last year and claimed a starting job with the Giants until he went down with a knee injury and was sidelined for the final three games. Big and strong, he can play either tackle or end on the front four.
Originally a No. 2 draft choice of the Eagles in 1966, Gary played for eight seasons in Philadelphia as a regular and in 1973, as a defensive tackle, led the Eagles in minutes in played and in tackles. His lifetime stats show six fumble recoveries and four kickoff returns for 65 yards.
Gary majored in mechanical engineering at Stanford where he was co-captain and All-Pac 8 in his senior year. A fine all-around athlete, he also won varsity letters in boxing and rugby at Stanford and was a Kappa Alpha fraternity member.
He was born in Vancouver, B.C. and starred at Gonzaga Prep in Spokane, Washington. Gary now makes his home in Santa Barbara, CA and is an avid gun collector."
