Wide Receiver
No. 88
Bowling Green
"Signed as a free agent late in the 1976 season after injuries had depleted the ranks of Giant wide receivers, Wallace appeared in three games on special teams and saw some action at wide receiver.
Originally drafted No. 12 by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1974, Wallace instead went to the World Football League where he started at wide receiver for two seasons with Memphis. His two-season stats with Memphis included 50 receptions for 840 yards and five touchdowns. He was also a return man with 40 punt returns for 285 yards and a 7.1 average. He went back to the Cardinals, but was released and then signed by the Giants last November.
Wallace was a three-year starter at Bowling Green and was named to the All-Mid-American Conference team in his senior year. He received a B.S. degree in education.
Roger Lee Wallace was born in Urbana, Ohio and played his high school sports at Urbana High School in his hometown. He still resides in Urbana in the off-season."
