One of the few established players on the New Orleans Saints defense of the 1970s, Joe Federspiel was a 4th round pick from Kentucky in 1972. He would play 9 seasons for the Saints and start a total of 121 games.
He finished his career with 5 interceptions and 10 fumble recoveries.

One of my claims to fame is that I played baseball against Joe in the Valley Sports Senior League in mid 60s. As I recall, his dad coached and brother, Nick, also played.
