EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – John Mendenhall, a standout Giants defensive tackle for eight years in the 1970s, passed away on Friday after a lengthy illness in his hometown of Cullen, Louisiana, his family announced today. He was 72.
"I was very saddened to hear of his passing and called a lot of guys to let them know," said George Martin, who played his entire 14-year career with the Giants and was Mendenhall's teammate for five seasons. "He helped break me into the league. In very definitive terms, he had a profound impact on me and many others the way he played the game."
