LARRY CSONKA'S BIO
Csonka played for the Giants from 1976-78. He was originally drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the first round in 1968. He left the Dolphins following the 1974 season and played for the Memphis Southmen of the World Football League in 1975. He returned to the Dolphins to finish his career in 1979.

A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Csonka put together three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons (1971-73) as Miami advanced to the Super Bowl each year. He shined in those Super Bowls, averaging 6.3 yards a carry and going over 100 yards rushing in two of them.

His career rushing totals in the NFL, which place him 19th on the league’s all-time rushing list, are: 1,891 carries for 8,081 yards (4.3 average) and 64 TDs.
