I remember seeing Bavaro as an Eagle & I wanted to puke. Same with Banks with Washington.
While those two sucked, for me, it is Tuck. As a Domer fan, I loved him in South Bend & then he ends up on the Giants & is instrumental in 2 Super Bowl wins, arguably could have won MVP in both games.
I know it probably doesn't mean much to most, but I am sentimental when it comes to guys like Eli, Stray, LT, Phil, etc. who never donned another uni than the Giants. I would include Amani in that convo, even though he was in KC's training camp before being cut.
Scroll up.
I agree. Against a lot of others here.
I also wished DRC would have been a lifetime Giant. His athleticism was off the charts.
I know they were nearing the end at the time but seeing Armstead, Bradshaw and Tuck wearing different jerseys also hurt.
First of all, we didn’t draft DRC so that isn’t possible… and OBJ? Seriously? Is that just because you don’t want to change your handle?

I don’t think the thread was which drafted Giants…. Because once a Giant always a Giants doesn’t mean only if draft. My first thought was Antonio Pierce

He was fun to watch.
Yeah good call, I hated to see him go.
My fave at the time. Couldn’t believe a shitty team like us got a 27 year-old star QB. Whatever we won was largely attributable to Fran, imo

Retired here after being elsewhere; a tie >>> OJ Anderson & Everton Walls ...
Linval Joseph was another that is spot on.
One of my least favorite Giant of all time...but to each his own I guess.
Runner up for me is Pepper Johnson. He played his best years as a Giant but still was a good player for a few more elsewhere, including making a Pro Bowl as a Brown. Another Reeves blunder.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Players? Huff, Hostetler, McCaffrey, S. Smith
In the 80's
Mark Haynes

Reggie White

Mark Bavaro

During that same period, Fran Tarkenton forced himself out, and the Giants picked the "wonderful" Larry Jacobnson with part of the proceeds--but at least they also got the talented Brad Van Pelt as a draft pick.
Top of my list would be Sam Huff--for his talent, and that he was symbolic of Giant mgt. incompetence, starting with Allie Sherman.
