Running Back
No. 39
Syracuse
"Sensitive, sometimes overly so, to the thought of retirement. 1977 might have been a total loss had he not gained 100 yards for the only time in the season finale (and even then it took an overtime period to do it). Madison Avenue was even losing interest in him until that game, but now he's back on the tube with a word from various sponsors.
Born in Stow, Ohio, Csonka played at Syracuse in the midst of that school's methodical production of top backs.
Do you that this man once elbowed a bear during a camping trip? But the Giants fear he isn't that imposing anymore."
-John Jeansonne, The Complete Handbook of Pro Football (1978 Edition)
"The all-time leading rusher among active NFC runners, Larry starred for the Dolphins in three Super Bowl games. He does television commercials for a shaving company."
-1978 Topps No. 25
