Safety
No. 34
Tennessee State
"Signed as a free agent in 1976 after a season as a starting safety for Memphis in the World Football League, Larry proved his versatility with the Giants as a special team player, as a fifth defensive back in certain pass coverages, and as the holder for conversions and field goal attempts.
He contributed a diving interception against Fran Tarkenton and the Vikings in one game and added a touchdown-saving deflection against Mel Gray and the Cardinals in another. Mallory played 14 games during the year, starting two at free safety.
Mallory played four seasons at Tennessee State and was a starting defensive back in three of those campaigns and was the holder for all of the placekicking.
Larry Montel Mallory was born in Jackson, Tennessee and was a three-sport star and student body president at Melrose High School in Memphis. A sociology major in college, he has been an adult education teacher in the off-season and lists music and reading as his favorite hobbies."
