1976 Rookie Profile: Craig Brantley

Wide Receiver
11th Round
Clemson
"The quarterbacks didn't throw a heck of a lot of passes to Craig Brantley over the past three seasons, but when they did- it was Voom, Zoom, Six Points. A product of Charlotte, North Carolina, Craig had but three receptions as a sophomore for a total of 128 yards, just two catches his junior year that went for 97 and 55-yard touchdowns, and then had a good senior year with 22 for 475 yards, including touchdown bursts of 80, 78 and 55 yards. Overall, the three-year total showed 27 catches for 755 yards and a 27.9 average-per-catch number ... and his six career touchdown catches averaged 69.6 yards per score.
Clemson people point out that the forward pass wasn't overworked there, but when the Tigers needed six points from anywhere on the field, Brantley did his number. Clocked consistently in 4.4 and 4.5 for the 40, Craig still lives in Charlotte where he was born."
