Defensive End
No. 81
Delta State
"Coaches have been dabbling with ways to replace him for a few years, simply for purposes of youth, but in 1976 No. 1 draft choice Troy Archer was moved to tackle so Gregory could remain, and last season No. 1 draft choice Gary Jeter never threatened. He had 21 sacks when he first came to the Giants in 1972 from Cleveland and hasn't matched that again, but 1977 was his best year in a while.
Gregory was born in Okolona, Mississippi, where he still lives on a soybean farm. He's the defensive captain and a kind of self-appointed Big Brother to fellow defensive linemen."
-John Jeansonne, The Complete Handbook of Pro Football (1978 Edition)
"The Giants acquired Jack from the Browns in 1972 and he enjoyed a banner campaign that season. He led the NFL in quarterback sacks with 21 and was named to the 1st team All-NFL squad by both UPI and Pro Football Weekly.
Jack has produced numerous blocked passes, quarterback sacks and fumble recoveries during his six seasons in New York. A four-year starter in Cleveland, he won All-AFC honors and a Pro Bowl selection for 1970.
Jack raises cotton and soybeans on his ranch."
-1978 Topps No. 159
