1976 Rookie Profile: Steve Curnutte

Cornerback
17th Round
Vanderbilt
"Being picked on the 17th round is not all that unlucky. Both of the Giants' last-round picks the past two years (Steve Cosby in 1974 and Rondy Colbert in 1975) made the 43-man roster. Steve has just as good a chance.
Twice All-Southeast Conference as a defensive back, Steve earned a reputation as a solid hitter with fine potential. Also a letterman in track with times of 4.6 in the 40 and 9.8 in the 100, he did double duty as a punt and kickoff return man and could get a try with the Giants in that area as well.
Steve was born in Lexington, Kentucky and played his high school sports at Ashland High School in Ashland, Kentucky, where he still lives."
