Turns out my son lives next door to him outside of Fayetteville, NC. Whenever my wife and I visit our son and his family, I always come up with an excuse to go next door and chat with Jerry for a few minutes.
Pete Athas gave me his chin strap as a souvenir at the Yale Bowl. First guy I remember with hair coming out of the back of his his helmet. Norm Sneed was qb that year.
vs the Rams...Willie Ponder gave me a wrist band as the players were walking through the tunnel. i gave it to some little kid. Shook ol Archie's hand that game too. The first real "monster" game of Eli's career with 4 TDs and 0 INTs.
and Troy Archer.

Beside Campbell and Orduna, that memorable squad had Dan Goich and Joe Taffoni.
1973 and 1966 had to be the worst years to be a Giant fan.
Very nice people.
Speaking of OL how about Derek Engler from Wisconsin
Larry Flowers - he was absolutely the BEST defensive special teams player we ever had. Yes... better than Thompson.
Doug Kotar - our RB in the late 70's. RIP Doug who probably got poisoned by the water at the Meadowlands.
