"Just like Don Hutson," he told The Register's Harold Yeglin. He also rushed 11 times for 44 yards, hit one of two passes and, as usual, was a demon on defense.

The Giants sent him a form letter, and he decided to go in and check it out "I just started out and a guy with a truck load of bananas came along and took me all the way into the city," he recalls.
