NFL career edit

Duich was drafted by the Green Bay Packers with the ninth pick of the 5th round of the 1968 NFL/AFL common draft. The Packers had obtained this pick on July 30, 1967, in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In exchange, the Steelers received quarterback Kent Nix.[1] Exactly one year later, on July 30, 1968, the Packers traded again. This time, they traded Duich to the Atlanta Falcons for kicker Wade Traynham, who the Packers cut on August 26, 1968.[2]
