Mike Sensibaugh, the Cardinals' defensive back who has the unenviable task of chasing Frank Grant all afternoon, had 22 interceptions at Ohio State--the most in program history when he left the Buckeyes. He was the Chiefs' eighth-round draft choice in 1971 and earned Kansas City's starting free-safety slot in the 1972 preseason, says his 1976 card.
