Defensive End
1st Round
Colorado
"Out of Whittier, California, Troy made most of the All-American teams while starring for Colorado. A bachelor, he says his favorite hobby is handball."
-John Devaney, Schenley Pro Football Guide 1976
"Archer is a swift and versatile defensive lineman who earned considerable honors in his two varsity years at Colorado University after his transfer from Rio Hondo Junior College. In his two years at Colorado, he had 154 unassisted tackles and was named Most Valuable Lineman in both 1974 and 1975.
In his senior season, Troy had 83 solo tackles, including 12 quarterback sacks. He was named the Big 8 Conference Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts in a victory over Missouri, when he had 31 tackles, and was named to the All-Big 8 teams of both UPI and AP.
He was also outstanding in the Bluebonnet Bowl this past season against Texas after Colorado went to that Bowl game following a fine 9-2 season. Troy caught the eyes of pro scouts, and Giant coach Bill Arsnparger, for his efforts in this past year's Senior Bowl.
Troy played his high school football at California High School in Whittier, CA. The Colorado coaching staff rates him as a young man with tremendous potential and rate his toughness and competitive instincts as exemplary. Troy still resides in Whitter and lists handball as his favorite hobby."
