Dave Jennings

The NY Giant punter from the 70's and 80's, and also onr og their radio commentators, after his retirement.

He was only 61 and evidently had Parkinson's Disease since 1996.

Ver ywell liked by everyone. I used to enjoy listening to him on "The Giant's Radio Network."

Jennings played for the Giants from 1974-84. He holds the franchise records for punts (931 — 405 more than second-place Sean Landeta) and yards (38,792). Jennings was selected to play in the Pro Bowl in 1978, ‘79, ‘80 and ‘82. He punted a career-high 104 times in 1979, which was the Giants record until Brad Maynard had 111 punts in 1997.

“Dave Jennings was one of the all-time great Giants,” team president
John Mara said. “He was a valued member of the Giants family for more
than 30 years as a player and a broadcaster, and we were thrilled to
include him in our Ring of Honor. More importantly, he was an
outstanding person who battled his illness with rare courage and
dignity. We will miss him dearly.”

Giants
chairman Steve Tisch said Jennings lived his life with class and
dignity, and he was the ultimate professional as a player and
commentator.

        “Dave is and always will be a Giants’ Giant,” Tisch said.
