Micky Bitsko, 1964? - played for NY Giants. Mike Ciccolella (?) played middle linebacker for the NY Giants in lean years - Bob Print 1964? played defensive end (I think) for the San Diego Chargers for a while - Pete Richardson, a defensive back who graduated in 1968, played defensive back for a number of years for the Buffalo Bills.
John McVay played for Miami Ohio and was the coach at UD 72/73 and head coach of the NY Giants from 76 to 78 without much success. He went to the front office at 49ers and was very successful with Bill Walsh. McVay was NFL Executive of the Year in 1989.
We have some football heritage.
