Flanker
No. 13
Texas Western
"Hampered by injuries in 1961, Maynard had trouble reaching the expectations the Titans had for him that season. When he sustained his first injury, on October 22, he was one of the league's top receivers.
As a member of the New York Giants in 1958, Don was used primarily as a kick return man. It was not until he joined the Titans in 1960 that he got a chance to display his receiving ability. That year, Don caught 72 passes to rank second in the loop."

ALAN GOLDSTEIN
Flanker
No. 81
North Carolina
"Although raised in Brooklyn, Alan traveled south to the University of North Carolina for his college education and to play football for the Tarheels. Thereafter, Alan served with the armed forces and played football in Europe. He was named to the All-European Service Team, and upon his return gained professional experience with the Los Angeles Rams.
Because of his background, Alan should prove a real help at end for the Oakland Raiders."
-1960 Fleer No. 108
"Alan Goldstein never gave up after failing to make it as a Ram in 1958. An offensive genius at end in college, he was among the country's better pass receivers. He played in military service in '59 and was a regular Raider after his initial practice.
Now 25, Brooklyn-born Alan looks to improve on his '60 mark of 27 passes caught and 354 yards gained."
-1961 Pro Football Handbook
"The long path to Oakland began for Alan when he was a high school star in Brooklyn. He played his varsity football at North Carolina, then went into military service, where he made the European All-Star team.
Alan proved a top receiver for the Raiders in 1960, snaring 27 tosses for 354 yards. Oakland fans expect an even brighter year from him in 1961."
