Defensive End
No. 75
Oregon
Drafted in the 11th round in 1975, George played every game in his first two seasons, being named Giants' MVP Rookie in 1975 and becoming a starter in 1976. He started the 1977 season by intercepting a Billy Kilmer pass in the opener against Washington and running it back 30 yards for a touchdown. Although an injury sustained by Martin later in that game would keep him sidelined for four weeks, he was as solid as ever when he returned. George shows great promise of being part of the rebuilt defense, eventually bringing the Giants back into contention.
He began his college career as a tight end for Oregon, switching to defense in his junior year. As a senior, he distinguished himself against Michigan and Northwestern.
