1976 Profile: Dave Simonson

Offensive Tackle
No. 67
Minnesota
"Dave was a No. 12 selection of the Baltimore Colts in 1974 and played 13 games with the Colts as a rookie. He came to the Giants last year after being released by the Colts and saw some action late in the campaign, both on special teams and as a reserve tackle. He has fine potential with good size to go with that potential.
A three-year letterman at Minnesota, Dave was a dependable player who improved yearly. His versatility in athletics was best exemplified by the fact that he was also an outstanding wrestler, finishing second in the 1973 Big 10 wrestling championships in the heavyweight division.
David Arnold Simonson was born in Austin, Minnesota and was an all-around high school athlete at Austin Central High School. He still resides in his hometown during the off-seasons."
