Off the top of my head I’ll list those that I deem to have had good to excellent careers. Please list those you recall from any era. In no order of importance.

Drafted in 13th round in 1945 by the Washington Redskins. Never played for them. Started with Giants in 1948.
That could be the best call yet..He was “my” QB in ‘56 and I never would have even considered that..Kudos.
how did he get to the Giants. I can't find that anywhere. All I found was that he was in the service from 42-45, then finished his eligibility at Ole Miss in 46-47.

Most people have forgotten by now, but the gray old man who has led the Giants since almost the beginning of time came to the Giants in a trade. Charlie Conerly was the 11th draft choice of the Washington Redskins in 1945. The Giants, sorely in need of someone who could throw a pass inside a barn and hit the wall—any wall—gave the Redskins a defensive back, Howie Livingston, and a fullback, Pete Stout, for Conerly. Both Livingston and Stout performed adequately for the 'Skins for a couple of years; Conerly led the Giants to three Eastern Conference titles and one national championship in 13 years. He still propels his creaking bones onto the playing field to win games for them

Charlie Conerly was my favorite. Most of my early Giant memories are by radio due to the blackout rules. I met Jimmy Patton and John Lovotere who came to the small deli I worked at at my boss’s invitation in Riverside (Greenwich).

Yes, until we got our season pass in the late ‘50s, we had to travel to Ct to watch the game. Otherwise, yes, the radio
Nice call here on Blanda.
If he didn’t get that bum shoulder, he could have been great, imv
He started out with the Cards and did quite well much of the time. I think Jim Hart replaced him after an injury, iirc
Neil Lomax had a respectable career before injuries forced him to retire before he was 30. 2nd Round pick.
and he still got them as far as Tarkenton did.

Lomax loved LT...😎

Mark Rypien - 6th Round in 1986. he had a short career, but he won a Super Bowl and was a two time Pro Bowler (plus 2nd team All Pro in 1991).

Ha, so true! It seems like LT hightlight videos are all Lomax and Jaworski.
Jaworski is another 2nd round pick BTW.
