...Running Back Wilbert Montgomery, passed over until the sixth round because of calcium deposits in a thigh, ha emerged as one of the league's flashiest runners. As the team started its comeback, Wide Receiver Harold Carmichael set an N.F.L. record for receptions in 127 straight games, and Kicker Tony Franklin proved that barefoot boys can make it in the N.F.L. The Eagles defense is football's stingiest. In the N.F.C. championship game against the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia held usually lethal Running Back Tony Dorsett to just 41 yds., held Quarterback Danny White to 127 yds. passing...
...amassed the best regular-season winning percentage in football, suffering a single losing year and missing the playoffs only three times.

One recipient was kicker Dave Cody, who emerged this year as one of the League's top kickers with 45 points on a ten of 12 field goal performance. The other half went to little-used senior defensive back Dave Bindleglass who earned great respect on the team for his incredible dedication; even though he wasn't always assigned to the travelling squad, Bindleglass attended every Harvard game since he joined the team three years...
Cody gave the squad a boost with field goals of 42 and 44 yds.--not easy for any kicker--and has gone four for four on field goals inside the 30. Whenever the Crimson offense bogs down near the goal line, it at least has the consolation of three assured points--no small matter...
