Free Safety
No. 29
Purdue
"Carl was picked up as a free agent on December 8 after being released by Detroit earlier in the season and played in one regular season game. He is known for his work on special teams and has some experience at free safety and wide receiver. Originally drafted in the fifth round by Detroit in 1974, he missed the 1974 preseason because of knee surgery but played in 12 regular season games.
A punter and defensive back in college, Capria has exceptional speed (9.5 in the 100-yard dash). He holds the Purdue record for touchdown saves (15) and averaged 19 yards on punt returns. Capria logged more playing at Purdue than any other man. He played in the 1973 East-West Shrine and Hula Bowls.
Carl holds a B.A. in business and would like a pro career and a career in office and personnel management. He won eight letters at Carey High in Franklin Square, New York. Born in the Bronx, his hometown is Franklin Square."
