Cornerback
No. 48
Missouri
"Stuckey came to the Giants from the Miami Dolphins for a fifth round draft choice in 1974. He moved right into a starting spot at the corner in the preseason and did a topnotch job, getting a 28-yard interception against the Jets and playing the corner with finesse. He kept that pace up through the early part of the regular season until he went down with a knee injury in the fourth game of the year, was operated on and sat out the remainder of the schedule. He's worked out through the off-season and should be ready to reclaim his job.
Originally a No. 8 draft choice of the Detroit Lions, Stuckey went to Miami as a free agent in 1972 and made his first pro appearance in that year's Super Bowl when he was activated after an injury to Tim Foley. He played in two Super Bowls with the Dolphins as a special team man, and during his two seasons as a reserve defensive back, had two interceptions for 31 yards returned.
Henry began his collegiate career at Merritt Junior College in California, then moved on to Missouri where he had eight interceptions in two varsity campaigns there. He was an All-American J.C. pick in 1969.
Henry Stuckey was born in Oakland, California and grew up in the Bay area where he was All-State at Oakland Prep. He now lives in Miami during the off-season. He worked on the Giants' Speakers Bureau this past off-season."
