Quarterback
5th Round
Northwestern
"Versatility is the trademark of Randy Dean, Northwestern's MVP in 1976 when he completed 87 of 177 for 1,384 yards and eight touchdowns and was named to play in the East-West Shrine Game. A 'walk on' player, Randy was an All-Academic Big 10 choice with a 3.89 average in industrial engineering. He also lettered in basketball and was a member of the 1976 U.S. Olympic handball team. For additional honors, Dean was named as one of the top five NCAA senior student-athletes of 1976.
He finished fifth in Northwestern total career offense with 2,860 yards in just two seasons of play. Dean's two-year passing stats were 188 completions in 374 attempts for 2,699 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also rushed for 177 yards in his senior season and as the Wildcat punter, averaged 42.5 as a junior to rank 13th in the country. In both of his seasons, he led Northwestern in minutes played, and in addition to his all-around play and punting ability, he also doubled as the holder for all conversion and field goal attempts.
Randy hails from Whitefish, Wisconsin and is from an athletic family- his twin brother Rob was a wide receiver at Northwestern and his father, Ross, was a Big 10 official for 29 years."
