Quarterback
No. 17
Utah
"It's quite possible that the future of the Jets is tied up with the growth and development of Lee Grosscup, the much publicized quarterback who couldn't make it as a Giant for three years and then failed in an opportunity at Minnesota. This former Utah All-American came to the AFL last year and clicked in his first opportunity; then came an arm injury and then he was below form for the remainder of the season.
Intelligent, sensitive and adaptable, he has the natural tools to shake up the New York offense and the gambling instinct to become a sharpie at quarterback."
-Don Schiffer, Pro Football 1963
"Nobody could have had a more sensational debut than sharpshooter Lee when he joined New York two days before their opening game with Oakland and had three touchdowns on his first four passing attempts. He looked like a man who could bust the league wide open as he fired the team to two victories in their first three games.
Despite a severe knee injury, suffered against Buffalo, Lee bolstered the New York offense on some occasions."
-1963 Fleer No. 13
