1976 Rookie Profile: Rick Caswell

Cornerback-Kick Returner
13th Round
Western Kentucky
"Caswell is a tough little defensive back whose 4.5 speed in the 40 stamps him as a candidate for kickoff and punt return employment with the Giants. Assistant coach Ed Rutlegdge is familiar with some of Caswell's feats which included three touchdowns on punt returns in 1975, all more than 70 yards in distance, including a 75-yard touchdown return against New Hampshire in the Rice Bowl.
He has also found the end zone with pass interceptions, scoring twice with pilfered throws, including a 56-yarder against Eastern Kentucky in his junior year which resulted which resulted in a 36-34 win for his club. Rick had 14 career interceptions, leading Western Kentucky in that department in both 1974 and 1975.
A native of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, Rick was an all-around athlete at Elizabethtown High School, lists golf as his favorite hobby and wants to be a football coach someday."
