The other thread got me thinking about the top 10:

1. Lawrence Taylor
2. Mel Hein
3. Roosevelt Brown
4. Emlen Tunnell
5. Michael Strahan
6. Harry Carson
7. Frank Gifford
8. Eli Manning
9. Charlie Conerly
10. Phil Simms

Honorable Mentions

Sam Huff
Andy Robustelli
YA Tittle
Tiki Barber
Amani Toomer

top 10 or top 15?

1. Jack McBride
2. Mel Hein
3. Tuffy Leemans
4. Frank Gifford
5. Roosevelt Brown
6. Sam Huff
7. Phil Simms
8. Lawrence Taylor
9. Michael Strahan
10. Eli Manning

The Giants have had too many great players, I'd have trouble coming up with a Top-20 I'd be happy with. I wanted Benny Friedman, Ward Cuff, Harry Carson, Mark Bavaro and a bunch of others on here but there just isn't enough room for them all.

2x champ. Anchor on the D line. Beast in both super bowl victories. Just a dominant force for a long time. In the Strahan mold

Tuck was a very good player who came up big in both Super Bowls, however he was never dominant for any length of time. Strahan was and had a Hall of Fame career.

If you are going top 10 with honorable mentions, you got to include Bavaro.
