Defensive Tackle
No. 72
Iowa
"An 8th round draft choice of the Baltimore Colts in 1973, Bill came to the Giants last year after being released by the Colts and got into the last four games of the season. With the Colts, he was a starting defensive tackle for five games in 1974, then suffered a broken thumb and was sidelined for several games thereafter. Windauer had a quarterback sack while a starter.
Windauer was a three-year performer at Iowa as a defensive lineman, the first season as the middle guard and the last two as a defensive tackle. He sat out one season with an ankle injury, but came back strongly in his final year to win conference mentions and was named to play in the Blue-Grey Game.
William Joseph Windauer was born in Chicago and was a highly versatile athlete at Mendel Catholic High School in the Windy City, starring in football and as a heavyweight wrestling champion and member of a state championship two-mile relay team. Bill resides in Iowa City during the off-season."
