Linebacker
No. 57
Virginia
"Selfridge came to the Giants prior the 1974 season as a free agent and won himself a job in training camp with his fine performance. He appeared in all 14 regular season games as an outside linebacker, with half of those games as a starter. Andy had an interception against Atlanta, recorded two quarterback sacks and had two fumble recoveries as well, and did a fine job on the special teams.
In 1975, Selfridge continued to be a bulwark on all of the special team units and saw frequent action as the fourth linebacker in certain defenses. He had a blocked punt against the Colts, and made some big stops on the Bills on goal line stands in the 17-14 Monday Night upset over his former team. He was originally drafted No. 13 by San Diego in 1972, then went to the Buffalo Bills that year and spent two seasons in Buffalo before the Giants obtained him.
Andy was a defensive tackle at Virginia and won All-Atlantic Coast honors two years in succession. He also played in the All-American Bowl. He earned a B.A. degree in economics and a Master's degree in education.
Andrew Paul Selfridge was born in Cleveland, Ohio and played his high school athletics at Gilmour Academy in Gates Mills, Ohio. He spent the off-season in New York working for the National Alliance of Businessmen after having been a member of the Giants' Speakers Bureau during the previous year. Andy is planning on a career in government after his playing days."
